Fellow bird freaks,

     Visited the feeders at Carla Stimmel's today to photograph a mystery
bird that had shown up yesterday.  Looks like a leucistic (sp??) house
finch to me, with an almost completely white head.  I've seen orange and
almost yellow finches before, but never a white one.  I have some decent
photos that I would share with anyone that would like to verify this id or
just like to collect weird bird photos.  Would actually be interested in
others opinions.  Carla also had a very light colored Redpoll.

     Other interesting finds in Perry county today included a Rough legged
hawk (also photographed), 110 crows, and 60 horned larks all seen on OK
Sweeney road near Clouse Lake south of Somerset.  Our own feeders had a *RUSTY
BLACKBIRD, *three Towhee, Yellow bellied sapsucker and all the other usual
suspects.  The yard had a Pileated woodpecker, and a bluebird to brighten
things up.

     All in all a good day that again reminded us how lucky we are to have
such a nice birdy place.
