[Ian Stewart <itsacharliebrownchristmas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have several feeders up in north Lexington and have only had a single junco 
this year, though plenty of goldfinches and house finches. Not as many white 
throated sparrows as usual, and not a single white crowned sparrow (I usually 
see 5 or so around). Not many WT sparrows on the UK campus either, the numbers 
do seem low this year. Hopefully the cold weather will push some new birds 
south :)
 
Last night while walking at the UK arboretum I had 3 black vultures fly low 
overhead. This is the first stime I have seen black vultures around Lexington.
