  The Dickcissel continues to hang out with the flock of House Sparrows =
in my back yard - last seen this afternoon.  The House Sparrows are =
showing more and more courtship behaviour.  It will be interesting to =
see how long the Dickcissel stays around this flirtatious crowd.

  A seventh Baltimore Oriole arrived on February 3, and all 7 are still =
present and doing well despite the cold nights.  Oriole #6, which =
arrived in starving condition Jan. 30, was in good condition within a =
week.  As I saw this morning, his recovery has been supported by double =
rations of mealworms.  Because he's a very bright male, and was =
desperate and aggressive when he first arrived, the other orioles seem =
unwilling to enter a feeding cage with him, so he's eating the worms =
that I'm providing for 2 orioles to share.

  The number of adult male Brown-headed Cowbirds in the yard rose to 3 =
on February 4, but is back down to 2 since Saturday, Feb. 11.

  The Song Sparrows in the yard have been singing their full spring =
breeding songs for over 2 weeks now.  The Cowbirds are also "singing".=20

  Cheers,
  Susann Myers
