the WR boundaries during the freeze, and it's certainly well down from the pre-freeze counts during December (i.e. don't use December counts to indicate likely February counts). I'm all for accurate information too. Phil -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http

a photographer that acts like that is thinking only of themselves. Try and educate them if you want, but I advocate more immediate negative feedback. I personally doubt this bird has much chance, but if it is going to have any, it's going to have to get a better diet. Phil Jeffrey -- NYSbirds-L

It was still there as of 8:20am and appears to be of a far western ssp - a chocolate brown and gray, getting a little warmer in the primaries and tail. I have pics. For those looking for it - it's an active feeder but it's quite shy. --- Phil Jeffrey On May 13, 2010, at 7:50 AM
