Jan. 4, 2008 -  Besides our clay-colured and white-crowned sparrows, we now
have two adult CHIPPING SPARROWS, and one of these acts aggressively toward
the other one; both of these chippies look very much like breeding adults,
with bright reddish caps etc.

Once again a male N. CARDINAL and, separately, a female were seen at our
feeders. 

Jan. 5, 2008 - Today I discovered that we have two different RED SQUIRRELS
at our feeders, and they hog individual feeders for long periods of time
(longer than the blue jays).  Also, d.... it, there is still a NORWAY RAT
attending the underside of my pheasant feeder.
