Ken,
It's reasonable to assume that at least a few of the thousands of saw-whets that
came through the Finger Lakes in the fall would decide to winter here. This is
particularly true for the males who would then be closer to breeding territory
come
spring and presumably accrue an advantage.
We
They're back! With the snow melt and warm temperatures, I've only had a small
numbers of my regular birds. I've also continued to have a few Redpolls.
Today, I had a large flock of maybe 30. The mixed flock of birds would scare
every little while, but a few of the Redpolls would keep feeding
I just saw a flock of pale colored small finches head across my window along
Tower Road towards Day Hall.
