I heard 1, possibly 2, Evening Grosbeaks overhead on the North Fork of the Holston River. I did not see them, but the sound stirred more hopes of winter finches. I have not again seen the individual that came to my feeder Christmas Day, but my hours at home have been very limited. Get out and enjoy the birds. Tom Howe Alcoa
