--- Quote from: Cooper on November 19, 2011, 10:36 ---Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 10:15 a.m., birdy sitting on the "e" facing west. I kid you not! Kind of dirty/oatmealy coloured breast. Traffic lights wouldn't cooperate to give me a red, but I had a good look (much to the annoyance of the guy behind me no doubt as I slowed to a crawl to rubber-neck).

That sounds like the black/green banded female who's been at the Radisson - the one I think is Sandy (she's not cooperating to confirm its still her). Her breast right now has this rusty coloured wash over the white feathers, makes it look a light brown, though oatmealy is actually more accurate!

I have looked there a few times in the past few weeks but have not seen any birds at all. :-\

I pass by at least twice a day and this is the first time I've seen anyone there in ages. No idea who it was. Maybe someone just passing through, but it sure makes me wonder how the birds know to go to these spots familiar to us.

Wow! That's amazing, Cooper! :o What great spotting! I have looked there a few times in the past few weeks but have not seen any birds at all. I thought for sure they had all migrated. I wonder if it's the same bird that you and TPC have spotted downtown lately? :-\

You've had some great sightings, Cooper! I'm very envious! And happy to be hearing about birds that are still around!
