From:  John Sollows

Date: Jan. 30/10

A non-birdwatching friend from over the hill in Central Chebogue popped in today to report a flock of strange birds at her house.  They were flitting around the back steps eating holly berries, and she was able to watch them from her car, ten to fifteen feet away, to teh north.  

She said they looked like small, fat robins, except that they were blue on top, and when she saw a picture of an eastern bluebird, she saw a match.

She tells me she will keep her camera handy, in case they reappear.  My 1986 Tufts, mentions one December record.  Has anybody heard of any other winter records?
