Bob and all, I still have several Lesser Goldfinches (LEGO) at my thistle feeders at the N base of N Table Mt. When I took to heart the post on NEBirds about rancid thistle seed and NO goldfinches and started using fresh seed on 6/26/12, I have had my usual dozen or two LEGO and a few AMGO

The general opinion is that the bird in question is an Eastern Phoebe. A good lesson for anyone carrying a camera is to take the picture, even when you think there is no chance it will be helpful. In this instance, I managed just enough of a shot to pin down an ID. Thanks for everyones help.

We all agreed that this was a perfect final day for the fall - we watched/listened to the Cranes take off, then caught lots of Juncos and 3 Sharp-shinned Hawks. (The first hour+ was pretty quiet - not surprising, since we had at least the 3 Sharpies we caught flying about.) An adult male, and a
