> Hi Dan,
> This AM noticed something looked different, realized we had a handfull of WWCB's foraging in our hemlock. Back in Jan 2009 you had appreciated a sudden sighting we had, figured you would like to hear about this one.
>
> Perhaps because of the hurricane and north winds? They ate for about 15 minutes, Beckie tooks a few pictures, then they were gone. The last time you heard birds were coming down to find food...never expected it today. Feel free to use the pictures for the park or anyone who would appreciate them.
