It is a gorgeous day here in White Point, especially if you are in out of 
the cold. It has been extremely slow as far as birds are concerned the past 
couple weeks. Just a few Chickadees mostly with the usual number of Mourning 
doves which come early and again much later. Yesterday the 2 Grackles came 
back, as well as a red breasted nuthatch. We had a quick visit from a male 
redwinged blackbird. Today there were about 20 juncos; they started coming 
last week early am and late dusk but were always sent packing by the large 
flock of Starlings. So far today, that group seems to be dwindling. So far 
today I have seen 5 lovely male White Throat Sparrows, a couple Song and 3 
American tree sparrows. One of the tree sparrows is the size of a chipping 
but the eye mark says tree. The Northern Flicker visited the feeder briefly 
and a wonderful treat was a tree full of Waxwings. I took a photo of them 
and hope to down load that soon.
Still missing are robins, cowbirds and orioles I have become used to. Now 
quite late in arriving back. In another two weeks, about the "eye of March", 
I will put out a hummingbird feeder.
best regards,
