Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls!

2015-02-15 Thread Anne Stork
3 Common Redpolls at our Niger feeder in Danby right now. We have had single 
redpolls with goldfinch the past several weeks- but this is the first visit 
with multiple redpolls and no goldfinch.

Going through my photos of Cooper's hawks and Sharp-shinned Hawks I 
can't decide which is which. If anyone would like to try and help me 
sort this out please let me know and I will send you copies of the Hawks.

Thanks

And the House Finches at our house just began singing the other day (not today, 
though - taking a survival break, I think).

[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls (No) and snow buntings, horned larks and lapland longspurs

2015-02-15 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal
?Hi All,

Yesterday around 1.30 PM I took a spin around to look for Redpolls at 
Triphammer Terrace and Hillcrest Road in Lansing. I did not see any redpolls. I 
did not dare to watch the surrounding neighborhoods as it seemed like I would 
be staring into their houses.


So I decided to go look for Snow Buntings and Horned Larks on Mahaney/ Davis 
Road farm. I did find several hundred Snow Buntings and Horned Larks, but they 
mostly landed on the plastic covered structure and I don't know what it is 
called, but were mostly invisible. A few - about hundred or so Horned Larks and 
Snow Buntings were on the open spot of the mud in the field and mostly about 50 
or 60 Horned Larks were sitting on the road.  I did find two Lapland Longspurs 
among these.  Birds are still there but mostly not visible unless for some 
reasons they took off as a flock, which they did it three or four times.


On the way back I came via Lake road, but nothing of interest except for a few 
crows.  I again stopped at Hillcrest and Triphammer Terrace road and found not 
activities in the birches. There was Red-tailed Hawk floating around among the 
trees and the field.


Cheers

Meena

Here is today's bird list from home, it was a good day to be inside looking out.
We have been having 1-3 white crowned sparrows, almost daily.
We regularly hear Carolina wren's, but today one showed up at the feeders.
Still no redpolls or siskins!
