Brian, Your report makes me think about the Painted Buntings we have had
here in Chesapeake. They too fed mainly on white proso millet. I'm
guessing, though am not sure, that folks might not consider this to be an
important food source for birds. I don't think there's any question that it
certainly is for some. Dave Gibson, Chesapeake

For those wondering about the Clay-colored Sparrow that was at my feeder
this winter, it hasn't been seen for a week. It was apparently the
longest-staying one in Virginia, from Jan 16 to May 3, for 108 days. It
mostly ate white millet. I enjoyed meeting the many birders who came by.
