     I was hoping I would be able to send a picture when I posted the 
address, but today would be the day that our sharp-shinned hawk would pick to 
hang around.(all day) I am not discouraged because the big flock of 
goldfinches has not shown up. The business name is Utah Quality Service. We 
are located at 23 North 900 West. That is in-between north and south temple 
on the west side of the street. There is an Auto Zone, two old homes and then 
our building. The feeders are in the elm tree across from the fire hydrant. 
The redpoll was in the tray of the tube feeder twice and on the lower peg 
once. There is a feeder in the birch tree at the south end on the building, 
and it has some bigger holes in the sock and will have some house finches at 
it. We get a couple of pine siskins, and if they are there look real close at 
them. I thought it was a siskin the first time I saw it. I should know not to 
be nonchalant about different birds in a flock, but really didn't expect 
something special. I will be in and out a lot during the weekend, and if you 
see a white van or green pathfinder then I am in the building. The doors will 
be locked so call 363-8930 if you would like to come in and sit upstairs and 
watch. All are welcome. There is usually up to 30 goldfinches here all the 
time, but when the redpoll was here there were more than 70. We counted 70 
but they were on the ground, on the feeders, and up in the tree and moving 
back and forth. If anyone sees it, please post it so anyone that wants to see 
it will know it is still here.    Jack Binch
