[Birdtalk] re:Rose-breasted Grosbeak & Common Grackle

[David J. Allan]

Hi all:

I've had a few e-mails from folks wanting to bird my backyard for the  
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK that's hung out for a few days now. Because  
y'all won't be able to find my house by a street address - I live in  
on an unmarked road - please call me. Anyone that's interested is very  
welcome at my little place.

My work number is 435-864-6832. Leave a message with your phone number  
if I don't pick up. My cell is 435-979-3433 (don't have it on during  
working hours). Home phone is 435-846-2103 (good luck!)

I'm so happy that Pat got to see the RBGR; my first sighting was in  
the same place. Although I've been fascinated by and interested in  
birds as long as I remember, spending hours admiring at the beauty of  
a picture of a RBGR in the 1955 edition of the World Book Encyclopedia  
my parents bought after they married, sealed the birding deal for me.  
The memories of admiring the picture of that bird brings back good  
memories of days gone by. Prettiest darn thing I'd seen.

Enough of the sappy stuff - call for directions. Hopefully the RBGR  
will hang around a while longer.

Enjoy!
