NORM!!! (Sorry, I think I may have watched too many "Cheers" reruns),

I think your brain had a little vapor-lock. The request was for information 
on Boreal FINCHES and it appears that you responded thinking it was 
regarding Boreal CHICKADEES. I'm with you brother, there are some days that 
I don't start functioning until my third cup of coffee. Oh, and since I 
NEVER drink coffee, you can figure out pretty easily how those days turn out 
for me.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year,

Ed
