   <br/>&#62; &#62; This afternoon as we were doing our solstice wreaths when a bird flew into 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; the tree along the driveway and called and called. A different sound from 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; the normal busy calls about this fall. sound like an extended cheep that 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; didn&#39;t change in tone or length of call. Evenly spaced, a pause between each 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; call. It came down to the feeder cautiously but once on the ground under the 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; grapevine it let us move around and paid us no heed until the camera came 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; out. I would say a hungry bird.
   <br/>&#62; &#62; We did get a few poor shots of it. The wing pattern is quite strange; a 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; sideways chevron and then a patch of white on each wing more than a bar of 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; white...very interesting. and the lower back is patterned with a double 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; cross for want of a better description. A smallish bird looks a bit bigger 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; than a Goldfinch has an olive-greenish cast to it and the beak has a bit of 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; an over hang.
   <br/>&#62; &#62; The pattern on the wing I haven&#39;t ever seen. Closest we could come to it 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; searching page by page would be a lark bunting but not even that close.
   <br/>&#62; &#62; The bird has been coming and going. We&#39;ll try again to get photos but if you 
   <br/>&#62; &#62; want what I have so far email me back, please.
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Best regards, Marg Millard, White Point
