    The Fieldfare shown on the front page of today's Easton Star-Democrat
came to USA in 1912, as a special guest of the great-grandparents of one of
the co-owners of Legal Spirits Restaurant.   Those ancestors were making a
world tour during their honeymoon and purchased the bird somewhere in
Europe, most likely in the UK.  On coming to USA, the bird resided in
Charlottesville, VA for the next 92 years under the protection of a glass
dome.  Two years ago the bird migrated from Charlottesville to its present
perch in Easton, MD where it continues to charm all who come to view it.
