For those looking for this bird tomorrow, here are some tips (per landowner
and my thoughts): You will need to look from outside, per Matt's prior
instructions. Go to the far back of the yard (going around to the right of
the house), back behind the very last stone building, come around the
corner of it, and then you can look back towards the house from there.
Under the grove of white pines. The small platform feeder is near were the
two angles of the house come together. *A scope would be very good from
this back corner*. The bird tends to come in when there is alot of
activity, so being too close to the house will mess it up. You want a good
house finch, chickadee, etc. action going. The bird came in twice over the
hour when I was there, and fed for 5-10 minutes or so each time. It also
likes the hanging sunflower feeder.

The driveway is very long, and should provide plenty of parking, but be
careful not to tear up the shoulder. Also there is a loop at the end, so
you can pull through and loop around when it is time to leave.

Good luck, and thanks to again to Dennis and his graciously welcome. State
bird!!
