4. I'm in northeast Texas
That could be a good guess. I know nothing about birds. Just thought it was a cool shot.

14. Ya know, as many as I've seen back in Mass.
I don't think I ever noticed the white around the eye! That's what threw me (that plus not seeing one since I've been here in San Antonio!) THX!

15. From a google search, seems like many have it!

We should see if XemaSab pops in, she's the resident bird expert!

Where are you from in MA? I grew up near Boston. :hi:

16. I was about an hour west of you - S. Lancaster
In between Leominster, Bolton, Clinton and Sterling. Very small town about 7,000 or so then. I think today it's grown to, oh, 7,380 (now that's a lot of growth in three decades!) Where are/were you near Boston? (Funny, when I joined the Army I'd tell people I was from MA and many would ask 'Is that in Boston?' After a while I just learned to say, 'Yes.')

They are both eating out of the same foodbowl at the same time..which only started yesterday..something they used to do all the time.
I have yet to see them play together although the sit relatively near each other..oh and its been over twenty four hours since Sophie last barfed...poor kitty was so stressed...
