Many birders have arrived around 0700, a few as early as 0630. Janice has asked that effective tomorrow, Saturday, November 27th, and for as long as the bird remains, birders NOT arrive before 0900 hours. This would give her time to have breakfast with her husband, clean up the kitchen, clean and fill the five feeders, and perhaps even make the beds and enjoy a second cup of morning coffee. Hopefully everyone will understand, and abide by her wish.

A Golden-crowned Kinglet was heard. 5) For the 5th successive day a BARRED OWL was seen in an open tree along the north pathway. It was nmopted by several people in mid-AM. If you come to see the G-c S next week please consider bringing millet-feed to spread. Our regular feeder may be out of commission for a few days before he starts to place feed at the north pathway. Oh yes, 3 migrating Rough-legged Hawks were recorded, 2 being dark morph. >From the west, exit 401 at Salem Rd.
