The Gray Crowned Rosy Finch was seen by a number of birders this morning and was present from about 10:30-11:15am, nearly the entire time my group (Jory Langer, Bill Lee, Rich Guthire) were present. It gave excellent views when it frequented the feeders, but was also known to be absent for extended periods. It also spent some time across the street from the house. Please be advised that the road the house is located on traffic passes at a high rate of speed, a passing State Trooper asked people to not stand on road, so please make sure your vehicals and yourself are well off of the road. Would also like to think the homeowner Nancy Loomis for kindness and promptness in reporting this bird! I'm sure you will be flooded with pictures late today. Good Birding! Will RaupAlbany, nY --
