Along the Bluebird Trail and a Bright Redpoll Scene
A letter from a bird watcher recalls a busy feeder with 25 Reapen’s, Grosbeaks, and redpolls at dawn and sunlit angles.

It reflects on memories with late neighbors and a Delta B C clipping about grosbeaks killed by traffic on the Hope Prince George highway.
