Fellow snowed in birders,

     No parrots seen this morning, but otherwise a good start to the Snowy
day contest.  Have seen 18 species so far and heard one,  Red Shouldered
Hawk.  Highlights include Sapsucker, Hairy, Brown creeper, White crowned
sparrow, and TWO CHIPPING SPARROWS.

     As I've said in the past, we have almost an unfair advantage with our
60 acre "yard" with three feeder stations, and lots of birds.

     Thanks, as always, to Sue for "sponsoring" this great contest.  She
should try to get some corporate sponsors who would put up big bucks for
larger prizes, perhaps even a trophy, like a bronzed House finch.

Note:  Many have suggested video of the Parrot feeding wild birds.  It
shall be done.
