Hi all,
 Business and a doctor's appt. brought me close to Sligo Creek Pkwy  this 
afternoon so I stopped by about 1 PM till about 2 PM with no luck.  Reportedly 
others had the bird earlier in the day, but the House Finch flock was  seemingly 
skittish today, flying over and/or briefly landing before heading off.  It 
didn't help that there was a small maintenance crew working on sewer lines on  
the hill behind Noah's house, nor the workmen doing deck work next door, I  
suppose. And the local cat walking about between folks legs, etc. and also a  
Cooper's Hawk present this morning. So small wonder I didn't see the bird.
 
Keep up the reports though, one way or the other. With the holidays next  
week, more folks are off and maybe able to catch glimpses.
 
And as a side note; Noah gets quite a good assortment of birds to his  
feeders/bath for the location. Thanks Noah for posting! We did have a pretty  male 
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in some trees while there this afternoon.
