["Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bristol Area Birders,
Spring must be on the way because yesterday two new species appeared at my
feeders. The first to arrive was a Fox Sparrow. It had to compete with the
Song Sparrows and White-throats as well as the 34 Red-winged Blackbirds and
the 31 Northern Cardinals. Along with all of these the large flock of Am.
Goldfinches was trying to feed. A gallon of sunflower seeds on the platform
feeder disappeared fast. Around midday a Rusty Blackbird flew in. It stayed
around for most of the afternoon. I managed to get a photo. If you would
like to see the white eyes in a close-up of a Rusty click here

Enjoy the birds,
