Due to the number of email questions that I have received, I am posting this again with a few small details added:
Cobirders, Observers arrived just before 7 a.m. this morning at the Brambling spot at Bear Creek Lake Park in Jefferson County. The bird had not appeared and it was around 7:40 or so someone whose name I did not catch brought some much needed seed. It was spread and we continued to monitor the birds. The new seed prompted a Black-billed Magpie to begin coming to the bridge which continually flushed the smaller birds feeding, and still no Brambling. Just before 8 a.m. we heard a car pull up and park just off the shoulder of the main road. A few of us turned to admonish the driver for parking on the road instead of the parking lot and to warn them that a park ranger had been making rounds. However, as we turned there were three nuns exiting the car; each wearing a white coif, Holy habit and toting a pair of bins. They were there to see the Brambling. Nobody said anything about their choice of parking. As the sisters approached the group along the gate, someone that had been standing there hopefully for the past hour made the comment, "I'll take all the help we can get at this point.". Just as the sisters made it up to the gate the Brambling made its first appearance on the bridge for the group. Amen, sisters. Thanksgiving Day indeed!
