This morning a lone female Cardinal showed up at our feeders. We =
haven't had one since spring, but have had a pair visiting, and other =
single birds in the past 5 years. No regular wintering or breeding =
birds right here. =20
Also visiting this morning was a single Fox Sparrow, first we'd seen in =
a few days. Very good Fox Sp. migration along the shore this fall. =
Fewer White-throated Sp. than usual - they bailed out early. Now where =
are all these winter finches? Goldfinches occasionally, but no siskins =
or redpolls in them. 4 Evening Grosbeaks about 2 weeks ago, no Pine Gr. =
or any crossbills, but we've been down with some darn virus or other and =
haven't been out birding much. A friend in Tofte reported a Red-bellied =
Woodpecker early this week, not seen for a couple days. We have seen 2 =
different Black-backed Woodpeckers visiting a dead spruce in our yard.

Who knows where they will pop up next.
