It seems that there are still some people that dont know who Jeeves is.
I'm sorry not to be more clear about it.
Jeeves is the nickname for the Harri's Sparrow that have been camping at
Frank Lyne farm for the winter.
65 persons went there already to see the bird, for some its a lifer (like
me)
Frank have been teeling the story for some time in the Birdky forum, so I
assumed everybody new Jeeves.
Have a nice Bird backyard weekend count

It's amazing, 65th person to go and see Jeeves. :-) Unbelievable.
Thank you to Frank and the way he welcomed me.
I was there for 3 hours and learned a lot. I learned that you don't need
fancy feeders. What you need is a couple of stones, a good spot, time,
routine in filling the feeders and mostly to love what you are doing. How
amazing the way Frank was able to hold the bird there for such a long time.
And the quantity of birds! I was there 3 hours because birds keep on
coming. I have to change the way I see the use of feeders.
Thank you Frank.
I saw Jeeves 4 times, and recorded a small low quality video of 2 of the
visits. The video was recorded with my iphone 4 mounted on my scope. So,
forgive me for the low quality.
Jeeves showed always the same routine, around each 45 min he showed up,
always from the same spot, eat for 30-40s and went back exactly the same
path.
I posted the video on youtube at http://youtu.be/iZSiIezkss0

Antonio Xeira of Lexington became the 65th person to see Jeeves this
morning. He sat stakeout for about 3 hours and I think saw Jeeves 4 times.
Also got a bit of video on his iPhone. Since it's supposed to turn cold
again for the next several days, I sat stakeout myself this afternoon long
enough for 2 Jeeves appearances. My pictures today are about average for
what I've been getting, but other than the shots I got on December 10, none
of my photos are half as good as the photo Pam Spaulding sent me. By her
own ridiculously high standard of perfection however, her picture isn't
good enough to share on the KOS Flickr site, unless, perhaps, we can shame
her into doing so. My newest 4 pictures here -
