The Eastern Towhee has been seen in our back yard eating millet we spread on the ground most days since we first noticed it. It was definitely there on Dec. 31. Not today, though. I'll watch for it tomorrow. Marsha Kardon On Sun, Jan 1, 2017 at 11:18 PM, Dave Nutter wrote: > The following species were reported at the tally this evening for the > Ithaca count.
