Sorry no photo yet but I have yet another strange (to me) bird. It is a 
grosbeak beak only smaller; not black and not pink. the bird is   bigger 
than a purple finch female, and not as large as a rose breasted grosbeak 
female. It has golden brown head  and a golden flush down over the shoulders 
and the upper breast. It has some striping but not as much as a female 
purple finch. It is very shy and it doesn't stay long. It likes the top of 
the maple tree on the Liverpool side of the property but flies into the 
grapevine to get sunflower seeds from the chickadee. It appears to be alone. 
Any movement even from the hummingbird and it flies away. I have tried to 
get a photo and will continue to do so.
Oh I accidentally downloaded the hummingbird in my hand photos into a file 
name I had listed to delete and they are gone. Things are quite a bit 
quieter with them since his accident so I am not sure if he survived or not. 
Perhaps not.. That would be sad.
