Hi, Everyone... Today in my yard in Auburn Twp.on Portage-Geauga County line, I had purple finches-at least 2- , chipping sparrows, and a Savannah Sparrow... a life bird! We have 6 inches of snow on the ground here, and still coming, and I watched as the Savannah found worms and such on my driveway and stone walkway which are still warm and no snow cover. What a day brightener for me on a rather depressing, snowy day ! Best to all, Lyn Miller --------------------------------- Now that's room service!
