Helen Horrocks and I arrived at 7:41 am --- the Hammond's appeared at 11:55  
am for a brief period in the berry bush to the left {facing dilapidated  
building} of the building - in a group that included a White-throated Sparrow  and 
a Dark-eyed Junco - the birds were visible for not more than 1.5 minutes,  
then flew up and beyond the Mountain Laurel behind the building. Hank Kaestner  
and "Tripod" { Hank's three-legged dog} were there - Hank attributes Tripod 
with  finding the Hammod's last Wednesday -- If Hank wants to share, fine; but my 
 thanks to Hank for your fantastic find!
