I saw a pair of birds three weeks ago which I have never seen before. They
were the size of a robin and the markings were similar. The one
had dark wings and body with a red belly, brighter than the robins. Its
mate had the same pattern but with a yellow belly. I first thought the one
was a robin until the other with the yellow belly was sticking real close.
I was working outside under what I believe to be a Washington Hawthorne when
they landed on the tree and without paying any attention to me began to eat the
red berries off the tree. The area was a wooded mountainside near the Pocono 
Mts.,Pa.
