I was delighted to see a Chipping Sparrow at my feeder today. I like =20
to think that it is the return of my resident from last year, but, of =20=

course,  I have know way of knowing that it is true.

ALSO

There is a good evening pass of the Space Station across the northern =20=

sky from west to east at 8:50 to 8:54 p.m. It is a nice 50 degrees up =20=

at maximum as seen from Avonport, higher for observers north and west =20=

of Avonport, lower for those who are south and east of Avonport.

The pass of its next orbit is also visible about 95 minutes later:  =20
10:26 to 10:28, also across the north, but only 20 degrees up, seen =20
from Avonport, and it disappears as it enters Earth's shadow at =20
10:28:33 in the NNE
