RE:[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
The number of red polls at our feeders has dwindled. We have had red polls consistently since mid-Feb, with a peak number of 80-100. This past weekend we had 20-30, then 12-15 for a couple of days, yesterday 1 and so far none today. The goldfinches are gone too. It's been a treat having red polls around this winter. --Marty === Marty Schlabach m...@cornell.edu 8407 Powell Rd. home 607-532-3467 Interlaken, NY 14847 cell315-521-4315 === -Original Message- From: bounce-125493288-3494...@list.cornell.edu On Behalf Of Laura Stenzler Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2021 9:01 AM To: CAYUGABIRDS-L Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls We still have a flock of around 40 redpolls at the feeders daily.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls polls and a science question
Hi Anne. Great questions. Don't know about redpolls but I just read today ( Sibley's "What Its Like To Be A Bird") that with chickadees the birds, themselves, can tell make from female because the black bib on the males fluoresce more deeply than on the female. Trouble is, THAT is something OUR brains aren't wired to see.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls!
There seems to be an inexaustible supply! My feeders now support about 50 and a nippy disputatious bunch they are. Lots of pics of heads forward, low, bills open until another moves. Niger is one focus. The other is bits of suet on the ground from sloppy eaters. Lots of really bright rosy breast feathers. No Hoary Redpolls though.

My two redpolls that have been here for a week apparently got outed and more arrived today. Not 20 yet but 6-7 and feisty! Niger and those peanut suet blocks.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls on Mt. Pleasant
I spent time at the Mt. Pleasant East fields this morning most of the time with Sandy Podulka looking at Redpolls. There were several flocks flying around and disappearing in the grass to feed. As Gladys noted they could disappear and you had to have a good angle and elevation to see them. We were able to get some good views and Sandy was able to photograph a few. I had one candidate for possible Hoary Redpoll. The flocks would separate and reconvene making accurate counts difficult, but my total estimate of widely separate groups was 150 birds. It’s a nice day and birds are visible from the main or side road to the tower if your patient. Gary On Nov 27, 2020, at 8:42 AM, Gladys J Birdsall wrote: Sorry-late post. I walked the dogs a short ways down the tower road yesterday 11/26. (Hunting in the woods at the end of that road) As we were walking back towards Mt. Pleasant a flock of birds swirled up from the east side of Tower Rd. I suspected Red Polls and returned just after 10 am with my binocs and scope. So-from tower rd. going east, there are plots where they planted potatoes-no potatoes, etc. The flock was in the second strip of dead grass/red clover. They were fairly close to Mt. Pleasant road, and would keep coming down in the dead grassy/clover strip. They would dissapear! I managed to find a few running around on the ground but very hard to see. At one point the flock flew up and went to the field to the west of Tower Rd. They quickly flew up onto the wires at the intersection of Tower rd and Mt. Pleasant. When they were swirling and flying around I estimate there may have been about 40 of them. There are several strips of the grassy/red clover plots, going east from the tower rd., they are dark brown and about knee high.

Re. redpolls: The Mt Pleasant Rd redpolls were eating the seeds of various weeds in the field, many of which actually are introduced species. Over the past few weeks I have tried to identify them from the dead plant stems and seed heads...it's not easy. Some of them (I think) are chicory, goldenrod (native), dock (not burdock), plantain, hyssop, bedstraw and I'm sure there are others. BTW, the redpolls are now frequenting the even-weedier field immediately west of the white observatory building on Mt Pleasant Rd. Are there any reports of redpolls at feeders?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
The location is in Summerhill near the SE corner of Cayuga County, around Lane E in the vicinity of a lake house with thistle socks, tube feeders, and platform feeders and nearby houses also with feeders. During almost an hour of viewing a flock of about a hundred finches (overwhelmingly AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES) which were in the tops of large spruces and deciduous trees, flying between trees, and sometimes a few at the feeders, we were able to find 1 PINE SISKIN and 3 COMMON REDPOLLS. --Dave Nutter On Jan 29, 2015, at 01:15 PM, Ann Mitchell annmitchel...@gmail.com wrote: At Lake Como 1196 Lake Como Road.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
Yes, I keep wishing they would leave. We've had 100 - 200 of them here since mid-January! Wheeler, NY - Steuben County. Makes me think of Frost's poem: A Minor Bird I have wished a bird would fly away, And not sing by my house all day; Have clapped my hands at him from the door When it seemed as if I could bear no more. The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song. They are still here eating hulled sunflower seeds and Niger seed. They are expensive to have around!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
I can finally join the redpolls finally club, as a flock of 10 or so descended on my paltry feeders in Northeast Ithaca. I've had none in my yard so far and none downtown on the CBC on the 1st -- they seem to finally be entering the more urban areas. My birds sampled the black oil sunflower seeds for a little while, and never even tried the niger.

I expect the standard sanitization advice is still to wash feeders thoroughly with a 10% bleach solution once a week, paying special attention to crevices where disease organisms may accumulate. Move feeders to new ground occasionally if you can, and stop feeding if you begin to see sick birds.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Redpolls
Until two days ago, we were having occasional, small flocks of redpolls at our feeder, and I was jealous of others with consistent, nice-sized flocks. Starting on Tuesday, we have had a flock of about 150 birds that come in to feed (largely on sunflower seeds) about 3 times a day. It is neat to know there are so many around. We live on the south end of Hammond Hill with some farmland adjacent and in the vicinity and also with lots of extensive forest cover.
