Hey everyone,

Well, I hit "paydirt" [like Bonnie O, Bill H. and others] this morning as I had my first American Tree Sparrow in my yard!  I've been looking for this one [in my yard] for 12 years, so, this is really great.  It was associating with lots of White-throated Sparrows and Juncos along
with many Cardinals, 2 male Eastern Towhees, 1 Fox Sparrow and some of 
the other "regulars".

Like so many others, "I'm climbing the walls" and ready to get out and
do some birding, other than from the kitchen window.  Good luck to all!
