Re the Gray-crowned Rosy Finch at Chelmsford: When we were there on January 27, we noted that the house immediately to the west of the Somerset house was also feeding birds. The laneway for this house is right at the corner when you turn onto Sequin.
Unfortunately this other house is set back from the road and the driveway is a bit long. So it is probably difficult to see their feeders. However, if the Rosy Finch fails to show at the Somerset feeders -- and panic starts to set in -- perhaps arrangements could be made to visit the other feeders (where the bird undoubtedly spends time, perhaps a lot of time).
