Now that the Black-headed Grosbeak is now apparently gone from Pat  
Thomas' feeder in Duluth, she wanted me to post the following e-mail  
to MOU-net. By the way, note that the bird was actually last seen on  
January 7, a day after Pat personally saw it (see second photo at http://moumn.org/cgi-bin/recent.pl)
