["Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Area Birders,
The cold, wet weather that came through last night brought the First Of the 
Season Fox Sparrow and 2 Pine Siskins this morning to our feeders here on 
Compton Mt.
The Fox Sparrow just made a brief showing then left. The Pine Siskins fed with 
the goldfinches throughout the day.

A bit later in the morning a female Purple Finch came in to take sunflower 
seeds from the platform feeder after one of the resident Gray Squirrels had his 
share. A Common Grackle, 10 Northern Cardinals and 5 House Finches were at the 
same feeder. Two Blue Jays were here in the morning but soon left. 

A pair of Downys, a female Red-bellied Woodpecker, a White-breasted Nuthatch, a 
titmouse and a couple of Carolina Chickadees were eating at the suet feeder.

Under the feeders 6 White-throated Sparrows, 1 Song Sparrow and 3 juncos fed 
with 3 Mourning Doves and 2 chipmunks.

Enjoy the birds,

Roger Mayhorn
