Today, Fri. 12/13/19, my daughter, Becky Sewell, again saw an Oregon
junco at my feeders. She & I both saw it a number of times at the
feeders on Sat. 12/6/19. She is quite familiar with Oregon juncos as
they were very common on her ranch in CO during her 30 yrs. there.
That's where I saw my first Oregon Juncos.
Becky took pictures but hasn't had time to look at them & isn't
expecting them to be too showy since the sun was bright from the west
last Sat. afternoon. Today she didn't have her camera. Birds feed here
about 9:30 a.m & again mid-afternoon 'til almost dark, depending on wind
& weather. I have feeders on my west-facing bedroom window sill & in the
tree just outside my bedroom window & also up at the top of the hill on
the east side of the house where, unless I'm working in the kitchen, I
don't too often look.
Today Cayuga Lake was almost void of any feathers except close along the
shore north of Union Springs & Cayuga. Mill Pond, along Rte. 90 at the
foot of Spring St. had quite a lot of ducks again today. Factory St.
pond has had more ducks than we've seen in the last 4 or 5 yrs..
Occasionally 2 adult & 1 juvenile bald eagles can be seen flying over
Union Springs village, the lake & Frontenac Park areas. We sometimes see
perhaps the same 3 bald eagles in a very tall, large dead, bark-free,
sycamore tree on Fire Lane 15, along Yawger Creek before you get to the
RR tracks north of Union Springs on State Rte. 90.
