It looks like some people are seeing some good birds, and I have gotten several emails telling me that the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are still hanging around. Good to see that Dave Raines got a FOS White-throated Sparrow, Gray-cheeked Thrush as well as a FOS Purple Finch. I did get my FOS Dark-eyed Junco (Snowbird) today. It was feeding in the backyard among a flock of Chipping Sparrows. I guess that first snow is not too far away, though I prefer not to think about that just yet. Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt
