Thanks for the info Rattlesnake Gal. If you want to see something neat. I was checking out the Mt. Washington webcams yesterday and they had some amazing photos of birds looking in the window. They had a Rose Breasted Grosbeak, Blackthroated Blue Warbler and an Ovenbird all peaking into the windows at night. Go to the webcams, click on the observatory camera and check out past observer comments. It's a great story. The observer was up late with flourescent lights on and he heard knocking at the window only to see the birds. So he snapped photos then put the infrared lights on and shut the flourescent off and turned on an outside observatory light further away so the birds would follow and find better shelter. They figured they got carried up on the SW winds. Pretty neat though.
