...just happened to have a supply of freeze-dried waxworms on hand, eh? Classic.

This evening in the last of the light I ventured out to fill my feeders. A little bird I hadn't seen skulking on the ground scurried over to my brush pile, and with bare eyes I could see heavy breast striping. I first thought it must be a Song Sparrow but something about it rubbed me wrong so I ran back inside to get my bins. In the dark (around 4:50 with light snow falling) I couldn't get much of the bird other than to eliminate any of the normal suspects for this time of year, so I ran back again for my camera. I popped a few flash shots and saw to my amazement that it was an Ovenbird picking around under my feeders: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9047968@N02/--I scattered a handful of freeze-dried waxworms & hope the little guy finds them. Not a good night for a bird that should be in a much warmer place by now- forecasted low of 6° F.Enjoy- Bill Schmoker, Longmont______________________• Bill Schmoker •____________________________________________
