A relaxing afternoon on the deck, pretending it was summer, with the birds coming right to us. Among the more notables was our overwintering Red-bellied Woodpecker, checking out tree holes and churring loudly; a Chipping Sparrow, a Field Sparrow, a singing Yellow-rumped Warbler, and a pair of Cooper's Hawks setting up house. -- ########################## Marianne and Michael Walsh 151 East Camp Hill Road Weathersfield, VT 05156-9629 802-885-9420 **************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.
