  George,
      By Brewer's Blackbirds did you really mean Gwen's Blackbirds?

    Folks

    Gwen and I enjoyed the storm and flu we shared yesterday.  During = our bonding experience were had the following species share with us.

    1 juv. Red-shouldered Hawk - eating ground beef.  This animal has = been around for almost two weeks.
    24 Mourning Dove
    4 Red-bellied Woodpeckers
    1 male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker - eating peanut butter
    6 Downey Woodpeckers
    2 Hairy Woodpeckers - eating peanut butter and split peanuts
    5 American Crow
    3 Blue Jay
    8 Carolina Chickadees
    2 Tufted Titmouse
    2 White-breasted Nuthatch
    2 Carolina Wren
    1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet
    10 American Robin
    1 European Starling
    2 male adult Eastern Towhee
    2 Song Sparrow
    10 White-throated Sparrow
    ~100 Slate-colored Junco
    4 Rusty Blackbirds - 3 males, 1 female.  One male was seen this am.
    ~90 Common Grackle - a brief stop over for corn
    4 Brown-headed Cowbirds
    40+ House Finch
    1 Purple Finch - a brownie.  The brownie was still here this am.
    20+ American Goldfinch

    I did not hear the Hermit Thrush pair that was here on Saturday, and = the Fox Sparrow did not put in an appearance.  With the flu neither of = us ventured out side much.

    Waiting for the flu to go away, and the next storm to arrive.

    Regards.

    George
