[Roy Harvey]

NOTE: Dori looked at the remaining supply of fruit in Norfolk where
the Pine Grosbeaks have been so reliable for the last couple of weeks,
and reports that there is not much left compared to what she first
saw.  Birders who want to take advantage of this reliable location
might want to not delay too much longer.
