>> Hi Jim:
>> Herewith are two reports.=20
>> The Chipping Sparrows I had at my feeders since the Christmas Count =
period were usually at my window-sill feeder which is just outside my =
dinning table. At first there was only one, then two, and about a week =
later three Chippies appeared at the feeder at the same time. Since then =
I have seen two at a time, but it is usually only a single bird, =
including today.
>> The second report is a shocker for me.
>>  About mid morning today, two large bushy-tailed Grey Squirrels =
marched in tandem on the snow the length of by back garden, and then =
went up into a large willow tree, and disappeared. A few minutes later =
they appeared again on the snow, parading back in the opposite =
direction, northward. All the while the Red Squirrels were scolding and =
following them from the safety of the tree branches above.
>> The Grey monsters ignored my feeders and the bird activity going on =
there. I shall let you know if they ever return and manage to demolish =
my "squirrel proof" feeder set up.
>> Cheers,=20
>> Sherman
