GRAY-CROWNED ROSY-FINCH, Baraga Co, 12/24

[James Lesser]

To All:

I saw the GRAY-CROWNED ROSY-INCH in L'Anse, Baraga County. He arrived at
9:38 in the alcove to the right of the gray VFW Hall. He started out on the
slanted roof of a beige covered porch behind a gray apartment. Elaine
Dogovito, who lives 1.5 miles from the site throws seed on the roof of the
porch three times per week. The Rosy-finch spent at least 1/2 hour eating
seed on the porch roof, and on top of scrub to the right, near a creek.

He is approachable to within 6 feet.

Elaine says that he is reliable at 9:45 am.

I will repeat directions of Tom Auer below. I have a few additions. On-line
map programs call "Bay Shore Drive," "Front Street." I was able to park in
the alley in the VFW parking area, facing the alcove. This was comfortable.

"DIRECTIONS: Northbound to L'Anse on US41. Head towards downtown L'Anse,
take E Broad Street into the downtown section. When you reach the blinking
red light at the intersection of E Broad Street and N Main Street, take a
right and go about half of a block. The location is in the back of a large
gray building with the store "The Mind's Eye" in the front. Park on the
street and walk back behind the building. There is a sheltered alcove here,
with possibly a gold Chrysler car parked in the back. This was where the
bird was seen, on the ground and even tucked back in the corners of the
cove. There will be a creek to the southwest of the building and a VFW
between the building and the lake."
