Hello!  Thought I'd share another batch of FeederWatch data 
for my yard in Laurel.  Of particular note: goldfinch 
numbers dropped off a _lot_ from previous weeks.  Also seen, 
but not within the yard limit or at the feeders: RED-TAILED 
HAWK (1), NORTHERN FLICKER (1), PILEATED WOODPECKER (1), 
AMERICAN CROW (6), AMERICAN ROBIN (~20).

Weather and Effort: November 25, 2007
When did you watch your feeders?
 	Day 1:   morning   afternoon
 	Day 2:   morning
Estimated cumulative time: 	More than 8 hours
Daylight temperature: 	 1 to 10 C (33 to 50 F) low
 			11 to 20 C (51 to 68 F) high
Daylight precipitation: 	Rain Under 1 hour
Total depth of ice/snow cover: 	None

Hairy Woodpecker, but at different times, means only 1 
individual is recorded in this checklist).

Good birding!
