[Tracey Muise <traceson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm home today with 9 mo. Allan, so I've been able to
check out the feeders this snowy morning.  I kept
hoping for a Pine Siskin, but no such luck.  The day
didn't bring too many surprises.  The numbers were
good.  I got to see a variety of color plumages in
various species including PURPLE FINCH.  Some of the
GOLDFINCH are starting to molt in to their breeding
plummage.

The nicest surprise was when I first looked out there
was a male RED WINGED BLACKBIRD at the tube feeder
getting Black oil sunflower seed.  Also surprising was
the female TOWHEE at the "house-style" feeder (Do they
have an official name?)--rather than on the ground or
at the platform feeder.
