A first-ever appearance at my feeders this afternoon was a male E. Bluebird, which alighted on the ground briefly, then visited a small open seep in the woods above my house. This was probably the same individual I saw on Hopson Rd on 12/20, looking decidedly unhappy in -5F weather - it seemed much more spry today.
Nice way to end the birding year!________________________
