 Hey everyone,  no I haven't disappeared.  Still here.  We encountered a real 
nasty virus at home during Christmas break, our tower is still being looked at, 
so I am at the Tech right now.  Finally I can keep updated with everyone, 
everything.  =)         
   
   Really there hasn't been too much around here except for 2 days I had some 
good stuff.
Christmas Eve day  I had a bald eagle, the Immy Gr. BB gull again 
and.......Titan!  Almost all three in 15 minutes.   The peregrine,as usual, 
held guard over the water tower,  the eagle was soaring west of there and then 
on the way back from that brief errand the GULL showed up.  And rather close up 
by the Wisconsin St. bridge!!
   Another item of note,  at the mouth of the Fox,  Pioneer area,  the open 
water yielded several common mergansers, and a few Com. Goldeneyes as well.  
The crowd of gulls did not however yield anything odd, that I could see.
   Nothing finch-wise yet.  BUT, now that I recall something cool, I stopped 
out at my parents on the 26th and got to here a singing cardinal.  Nice day to 
hear a sound of spring........wishfully thinking.  So now that school is about 
to start up again here at the Tech I'll be able to keep in touch again, or when 
the tower comes back, whichever comes first.  Nice to see a computer screen 
again.  Happy New Year, too, to you all.
