Karen Lippy from Hanover, PA asked me to post this sighting:

	Debbie Boyle first saw the bird on 1/15 around noon. She knew it was
"different." Took out her one bird book & started looking. ID'd the bird as a
WT, called a local bird store who referred her to Karen Lippy. Karen spent two
hours this morning watchin' & watin'. Finally, the bird flew in just as Karen
decided it was going to be a no-show. Karen describes the bird as having some
red on the top of his head, bright yellow body with prominent wing bars.
	A green metal squirrel proof type feeder lined up with other feeders behind
the house is where the bird has been seen most frequently. Debbie has put
oranges & apples on ground & the bird has been seen eating the oranges.
Appears that he is also eating holly berries from the trees behind the green
feeder.
Directions:
	83N get off at 216 west (PA) Go thru Glen Rock, PA (York county) On rite hand
side watch for Wetzel's market.,  Directly past the market make a rite onto
Glenvue St. Go to top of hill just over peak of hill make a rite onto Ridge
Ave,  approx. 1/4 mile road bends to rite - tan house, number 33, row of
feeders in backyard.
	Please do not ring doorbell, move quietly, Mr. Boyle works night, sleeps
days.
