The Green-tailed Towhee that blessed us with its presence since 10 DEC 03 was last seen Thursday 05 FEB 04. I knew this day would come but had hoped the bird would stay until late March or early April. It has been a great joy for me to have this rare visitor at my home, yet more importantly it has been a wonderful pleasure to welcome so many great people to our yard. I have enjoyed meeting many of you and am sorry I could not meet and spend time with all of you. I hope to be able to bird with some of you in the future and wish you all a great year birding.
