>Most people who have called us recently have expressed immediate concern that
>the little Calliope was not surviving the frigid weather.  I just wanted to
>let people know that as of Sunday, Jan. 23, with 3+ inches of snow with
>serious ice over that, he seems fine.  I don't know how to make a general
>posting, but had your e-mail address from a copy of some early postings that
>someone sent us.  If you have the time, and feel it noteworthy, please let
>people know that he seems OK.

>Hope you will be able to see our brave little visitor before he leaves.  We
>have great appreciation for the work that you, the Sargents, and others are
>doing.  We feel very blessed to have had this rare experience - even though
>it has given us some anxious morning moments waiting for his arrival.
>Visiting birders have been exceptionally pleasant and interesting guests, and
>we have enjoyed meeting them.We just hope that all will turn out well for the
>little bird.

>Thank you, and our best regards,
