Hi  Derek and  all .    Just  so the Eastern shore  is not left out .    I am reporting  that  I have  at least 5 or 6 Red Breasted Nuthatches still  at my feeders near Queenstown  in Queen Annes County .   Presant  since the first part  of September  2007  .  Also  there are vists once in a while of  Purple Finch ,  number  varies.  Last seen          1 - 21 - 08   one male  and one brown  type  .    While here  I  also want  report a partly   albino  Dark Eyed Junco  on 1 - 21 - 08  under my feeder. With  just  small amounts of   white color around the eyes where it should be gray  also some white   from the bill   to the forhead   this too is just a small amount  .    The rest of the bird is normal  colored  .  I did get  some poor quailty photos   but hope to get some better ones if it hangs around .


Happy Birding
