[cayugabirds-l] Eight inches of snow!

2012-04-23 Thread geokloppel
This morning a full eight inches of heavy wet snow covers everything at my place in the West Danby hills. The Phoebe on a twig out the window looks black. Yesterday's fog-bound flock of twenty-some Yellow-rumps and one Nashville Warbler must still be around here someplace. -Geo Geo Kloppel

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins and snow

Late yesterday afternoon I counted 5 Pine Siskins at our feeders, and this morning there are at least 8. We got about 5 inches of very wet snow here on South Rd in Caroline. This late snow could bring some interesting things into feeders so keep an eye out! Bill Baker

My feeder was more popular than usual this morning, with handsome chipping sparrows milling about photogenically against the white backdrop. A songlike sparrow sat for a while looking almost lincoln-ish, but flushed before I could get my camera or otherwise convince myself that it wasn't just a

I haven't had a Pine Siskin at my feeders (at least when I was watching) all season. This morning there was a large flock of American Goldfinches littering the trees and with them were at least six Pine Siskins. Clearly either feast or famine at my house. The goldfinches who were already in

On Monday morning, I stood in the rain on the pitcher's mound at Cass Park Union Fields F8, lamenting the imminent cancellation of our kids' opening game. Then I saw a flock of 30+ AMERICAN PIPITS wandering the nearly snowless outfield and second-base area, plus a pair of Mallards waddling by.

Only 2 inches heavy, wet snow at Lansing Stat. Rd., but many trees and bushes bent down under the weight of it. The snow lining the branches of the lovely blooming Redbud trees is a unique sight, but it has squashed all the daffodils. My neighbor just reported that their Carolina Wrens just

Woke Sunday to a male turkey displaying to females inches from my bedroom window, also robins building a nest on the house. I got 2 new yard birds on Earth Day: a singing BROWN THRASHER, and a HERMIT THRUSH scrounging around under feeders. An interesting thing I noticed was the feet of the

When I walked in home today, there was a Purple Finch singing from my Poplar tree. I have been hearing him a last few days. But recently, I also heard and saw a Goldfinch almost sounding like a purple Finch. I had never heard this call from an Am. Goldfinch. In the morning while I was waiting

This morning on the way to work, I saw 15-20 AMERICAN PIPITS along Powell Rd and Hickok Rd near Interlaken, especially Hickok Rd. They were in the tire tracks in the snow, which exposed some of the ground or pavement. Marty == Marty Schlabach
