Hi Sara Jane,
For at least the past 3 years, there have been TUVU's roosting during the
fall behind the Varna Community Center, in some tall conifers. I get
neighbors calling me about it every year with a mixture of wonder and
frustration.

I was just coming through Varna when I had to pull over and stop the car,
because there were about 25-30 TV’s soaring overhead, just above the rooftops.
There were enough to be looking for a ‘road-kill’, but I imagine they were
either settling down for night or trying to get an updraft.

Have had some interesting birds at our feeders recently. We've had a
CHIPPING SPARROW every day since Thursday. Yesterday a first-winter
male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK stopped by briefly. This morning there was
a juvenile male RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD feeding on the ground with the
other birds.
