After reading Dee Thompson's message about seeing two Summer Tanagers while sitting in her Dentist's chair, I realized that she and I use the same dentist! Today I had an appointment with that dentist and when I mentioned Dee Thompson's experience they led me back to the same chair with a twinkle in their eye. Although there were no Summer Tanagers present I saw a Great Blue Heron flying over the building and heard a Rufous-sided Towhee, Song Sparrow, and American Goldfinches, singing in the parking lot of the office. I mentioned our experiences to the dentist and she said she would have to start setting up feeders and other things to help the birds. I have another appointment with her in a month and will try to see what I can then.
