Most of the reports in Canada seem to be either single or 2-4 birds at any location. However, there is a report from April 7th of this year in Saskatchewan of 22 birds. Now that would be great to see.</div><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature" id="cloudHQ_signature2_id"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="500" style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Calibri,Candara,Segoe,'Segoe UI',Optima,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#4b6539;line-height:1.35;width:500px;margin-top:1em"><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;width:1%"><div style="width:116px;height:116px;margin-right:10px;border-radius:5px"><img src="https://share1.cloudhq-mkt3.net/a1e3029386f0970f6387df8bc05aba5a2f35b931.png?v=0.5207986654226555" width="116" height="116"></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Calibri,Candara,Segoe,'Segoe UI',Optima,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#4b6539;line-height:1.35"><tbody><tr><td><span style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Calibri,Candara,Segoe,'Segoe UI',Optima,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#4b6539;line-height:1.35;color:#09527b;font-size:17px;font-weight:bolder">Eric Ellingson</span><span> </span></td></tr><tr><td><div style="margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:6px;border-top:2px solid #09527b;height:2px"></div></td></tr><tr><td><div style="margin-top:3px;margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.2"><a href="tel:360-820-6396" style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Calibri,Candara,Segoe,'Segoe UI',Optima,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#4b6539;line-height:1.35;color:#311dc9;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">360-820-6396</a> <span>|</span> <a href="mailto:esellingson@gmail.com" style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Calibri,Candara,Segoe,'Segoe UI',Optima,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#4b6539;line-height:1.35;color:#311dc9;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">esellingson@gmail.com</a></div></td></tr><tr class="cloudHQ_fields_custom"><td><div style="margin-top:8px;line-height:1.2"><div style="margin-top:3px"><span style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Calibri,Candara,Segoe,'Segoe UI',Optima,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#4b6539;line-height:1.35"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ericellingson/" style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:Calibri,Candara,Segoe,'Segoe UI',Optima,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;color:#4b6539;line-height:1.35;color:#311dc9;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/ericellingson/</a> </span></div></div></td></tr><tr><td><div style="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ericellingson/" style="width:21px;height:21px;text-decoration:none;border-radius:0;border:0" title="Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.cloudhq.net/images/social_icons/32px/flickr.png" width="21" height="21" style="width:21px; height: 21px; text-decoration: none; border-radius:0;moz-border-radius:0;khtml-border-radius:0;o-border-radius:0;webkit-border-radius:0;ms-border-radius:0;border: 0;"></a> </div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><div id="chq_signature_extensions"></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Dec 10, 2023 at 12:03 PM <<a href="mailto:tweeters-request@mailman11.u.washington.edu">tweeters-request@mailman11.u.washington.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Send Tweeters mailing list submissions to<br>
