I had not seen the two EC Doves since Jan. 3.  I rather much thought they had 
been grabbed by the grim reaper, cloaked as a Cooper's Hawk.  But today both of 
them were (and still are) at my feeder and looking healthy and much in love.  I 
called the person with the Savannah Sparrow -and that bird also was seen today. 
 Because the porch was deep with snow (and the bird feed buried), the little 
guy (or gal) needed to fight a way through a throng of Mourning Doves to reach 
the feeder box and get a bite to eat.  A part of the porch will soon be cleared 
and seed put down.  I am hoping this bird will make it through the winter.  No 
other winter Savannah has ever lived to claim that feat.
