[Phoebetria@xxxxxxx]

The cool, windy weather with a little rain overnight has increased patronage 
to the feeder here, and a Yellow-breasted Chat has spent all morning, in 
company with a new (7th) Baltimore Oriole [brightest one of the bunch; up to 
five 
at once this morning], a Red Fox Sparrow, a Brown Thrasher eating earthworms, 
the same Dickcissel, a Purple Finch, a Pine Siskin, and the elusive Archilochus 
hummingbird that rarely perches.  A second low-pressure system with 
precipitation is supposed to skirt to our north this weekend, but otherwise it 
should 
be windy but rain-free on Saturday and Sunday.
