Diane and I have had an Ovenbird on the ground beneath our thistle and suet feeders since late November.  Each time we see it we expect it to be the last, but he seems to like hanging out in our yard.  Luckily, he WAS seen on December 16th, and was snagged for our CBC count!
A Hermit Thrush was observed in the yard last Saturday, too.
Life is good....
