- Comments: "Saw it by the feeders.  I was surprised that he seemed unperturbed by my presence as I approached (on skis). Noticed the white eyestripe and the heavily streaked breast.  Later compared what I saw to the excellent photo taken by Sean Sime a couple of days earlier.  It was the very same bird."
