Re: the rfi for this bird: as stated below, the homeowners have graciously allowed people to try for this bird tomorrow, Mon 1/16 even though it is a holiday, so if you were unable to try other weekdays and are off tomorrow, it would not be violating the request for no weekend visits. Please do be respectful of the request to stay on the porch and take turns if there is a large crowd.
good luck if you go!

Pick up a Hunterdon County Democrat at a local store in Hunterdon and you'll see an article about the bird in the front section. http://www.nj.com/hunterdon-county-democrat/index.ssf/2012/01/european_finch_shows_up_at_uni.html Several people have asked about Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday on Monday, January 16th- the Rehman's are allowing people to visit. Please try to stay on the porch- last Friday ~15 people spilled out onto the side yard- perhaps a contributing factor in the bird not showing at all that day. If there is a large crowd and you find yourself in the back prepare yourself to not see the bird the first time. People in the front usually get a good gander and leave, allowing the people from the back to move up for it's next visit.
