Union Springs, NY ... @ 11:35 a.m. I had an Oregon junco feeding on my windowsill. I hope it stays for the winter with the other dark-eyed juncos like the one in 2019-'20. At times I have a variety of busy feathered visitors but with no snow or really cold weather the activity is way less than usual. I haven't been to Auburn at dusk to see crow activity but have had no rivers of crows going to & fro as they have for many yrs. nor are there many Canada geese. Mill pond has a few ducks.... gadwall, buffles, wigeon, mallard. What are there don't seem to be too stressed by the water fountain spraying colored water into the air. Factory St. pond has a few ducks but the thick scum leaves little space for them. The duck box in the water that housed screech owls for a number of yrs. & brought so many visitors has fallen apart & the whole area is disgraceful with beaver-felled trees in the water from 5 yrs. ago..
