	From the windown of Marie Wamboldt's home across the highway 
from the post office in Clementsvale I was able to observe the following 
birds at her feeders or nearby from past Friday, Saturday and today:  
	4 Fox Sparrows at any one time	
	3-4 Song Sparrows
	1 White throated Sparrow 
	1Tree Sparrow 
	somewhere between 20-25 Northern Juncos maximum 
	1 female and 2 male Purple Finches
	6-7 American Goldfinches; one male has almost completed his 
summer coat while others are just starting with a bright feather here and 
there. 
	1 female and 2 male Downey Woodpeckers
	1male and 1 female Hairy Woodpeckers
	several Blue Jays 
	a Crow or two hoping to get to the suet 
	a male and a female Ring-necked Pheasant clucking to one 
another as they fed on the "scratch"
	2-3 Common Grackles 
	3 Red Winged Blackbirds 
	`a flock of at least 17 Robins who were busily examining an area 
where the plow had uncovered a muddy parking lot and some sod this 
morning
	approximately a dozen Mourning Doves 
	countless Black capped Chickadees flitting back and forth to the 
sunflower seed supply 
	5 Evening Grosbeaks
	"Missing", which I have sometimes seen from Marie's window, were 
Nuthatches of either kind, Starlings, and Pine Siskins. 
	A Red Squirrel and a Chipmunk are also regular diners, much to 
Marie's disgust!
	-a pretty good list for rocking chair viewing!  JET
