We've been watching our feeders regularly here in Laurel (PG 
County) and have seen as many as 7 HOUSE FINCHES at a time. 
Today we had at least 4 (3 male, 1 female).  Since I haven't 
posted in a while, here's today's yard list, as reported to 
eBird.  Also today I had 2 adult male HOODED MERGANSERS at 
Rocky Gorge Reservoir just up the road (I only stopped by 
for about 5 mins).
