Hello all,
At the house in Scott this morning were singles of COMMON REDPOLL and PINE
SISKIN in with the flock of
40+ Goldfinches. The female PILEATED WOODPECKER (Red-bellied too) has
started to come into the suet
feeders for the 3rd winter in a row, a CAROLINA WREN has been frequent
since the
A flurry of activity this morning at home in Danby, as the sun shone for the
first time in days, had a flock of brightly colored White-throated Sparrows
with a few Golden-crowned Kinglets mixed in. There were also a mix of
finches, but no siskins and I tore myself away to go to work already late

I tried to send this a minute ago, but think I closed the compose window when I
was trying to copy email addresses. Sorry if this is a repeat.
I'm highly impressed by the effort of John and Sue to band saw-whets.
Cangratulations to them. I tried to band saw-whets for a few nights this fall
and
At 0805 the King Eider was perhaps 50 m n. from the swan pen, diving regularly
in the
vicinity of a small
group of Mallards. Pretty cold, but little wind, which made things almost
pleasant.
Excellent views in the
morning light, with the bird diving in gentle swells with slushy ice chunks.
I will be leading a trip up the east side of the lake to Rafferty Road
to see Short-eared Owls. We will be meeting at the Lab of Ornithology at
2:00, probably birding the lake on the way there. We will be heading back
at dark. Dress warmly.
Best,
Ann Mitchell

About 2:30 this afternoon, I paid a visit to Stewart Park. A fellow from near

reluctantly brought our fall owl migration effort to a conclusion. We'll be
trying
on nights with decent weather but anything caught by now has to be considered
wintering and not migrant. We caught 81 birds in all.
