** Clarence Cormier recently had a bird to his Grand Digue site that he suspected to be a PHILADELPHIA VIREO. Clarence got photos and there is agreement that the photos are highly suggestive of the Philadelphia VIREO. The photos are attached.  
 
**Georges Brun has been watching a BALD EAGLE that has been fishing from the mouth of Halls Creek for approximately two weeks recently always approximately one hour before bore arrival. He got some photos of the fish it was taking, the one in the photo appears to be a WHITE SUCKER. 
 
** Aldo Dorio got a photo of a sub-adult bald eagle consuming what appears to be a striped bass at Hay Island Nature Park on Tuesday. The eagle appears to be going into its third year as the cere area is showing a lot of yellow, the eye is yellowing and faint dark lines are appearing behind the eye. These comments are a guesstimate of the birds age. 
 
** Peter Blackmun who lives on Jones Lake had a pair of HOUSE FINCH arrive to a niger seed feeder in his yard on Tuesday. We live near Jones lake and had a small troop of HOUSE FINCHES last fall and early winter but seem to have gone elsewhere and just returned to our feeder yard as well.
