It was a great morning. We’ve never seen so many yellow rumps in one place and
the wildflowers were nice also - white trillium, wild geraniums, foam flower,
blood root in seed, solomon’s seal - both, and more.

A yellow crowned night heron was seen about 7:00 pm at Groton Avenue Park in
Freeville. I would appreciate knowing how common they are in this area?

We have a European Goldfinch at our feeder in Dryden on Kimberly Drive. It’s

Back in the 80’s I participated in a bird feed and feeder study conducted for
USFW out of Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. One of the results was that the
“favorite” food of goldfinches was hulled sunflower kernels. That’s not to say
they won’t eat other seeds just that when given options
