Heard = it calling occasionally. Only noticed it coming to the birdseed during t= he big snow. He even flew to the roof (a low roof where I throw peanuts = and most of the seed) and grabbed a peanut and flew off with it to his la= ir in the thicket. Otherwise he mostly had seed on the steps that lead t= o my second story apartment. The other bird of note to come for seed was= a single fox sparrow who was only here, that I'm aware of, on the 26th a= nd 27th of February, during the second round of snow. The sparrow also v= isited the roof.
