[cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[Geo Kloppel]

Lots of welcome arrivals, including Great Crested Flycatcher today, but I’m 
still feeding nyjer seed to a couple of Pine Siskins.

The Ravens at Taughannock Falls have four nestlings. They are quite late 
compared to the big and noisy youngsters in my spruce plantation, seeming to 
support the presumption that their parents are the same pair that attempted to 
construct a nest farther up the gorge in late February but couldn’t make the 
sticks stay put upon the tiny, outward sloping ledge they had chosen. I wonder 
if they made actual use of the stolen eggs they had cached up that-a-way, or if 
that business in which they cooperated was a kind of invented courtship 
activity?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[Ann Mitchell]

I have had 16-21 siskins at my feeders for a couple weeks now. It's pretty
cool watching them. They move so quickly, that it is hard to get an
accurate count. Good luck with the bears!

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Siskins persisting

I had a few Siskins Sunday and the corner of Station Rd. and Bald Hill Rd. 
feeding in a birch tree. I thought it was notable and fun to still have them 
around.

I just counted 14 Pine Siskins at our feeders. This is not usual for our

they'v'e just decided they like it. We do have a lot of nyger seed socks - the

outnumber the goldfinches and the juncos.

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins!

[Asher Hockett]

Checking for new arrivals, but currently ONLY 8 Pine Siskins. Don't know if
it's the habitat (Hemlocks mostly) or the elevation, or the abundance of
niger seed - 3 socks full, but they are chasing the occasional goldfinch
away.

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins and other finches

[Laura Stenzler]

This morning (Wed) I counted a 25 Siskins at our feeders, although there may be 
many more. They are skitish and fly up alot so it's hard to get an accurate 
count. Also many Goldfinches and a few Purple finches.  Three Fox sparrows 
continue to hang out as well.

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins and Redpolls

[Geo Kloppel]

I've also got at least one Pine Siskin at my feeders now (Tupper Road, West 
Danby), and I've had flyover Redpolls, so I'm hoping they'll drop in too.

[cayugabirds-l] siskins now - great egret night flight calls tonight - DDT then now

[Bill Evans]

Greetings birders:

Right now there are a few siskins feeding in cedar trees on Green St. adjacent 
to Agway.

The timing and conditions look good for hearing great egret night flight calls 
tonight. My past experience suggests that 8:30-10PM is the window to hear 
egrets, presumably individuals originating from the southern Lake Ontario 
marshes. I’m unable to go up to Mt Pleasant tonight for a listen but perhaps 
others can – should be a great night for listening with lots of migrants aloft!

Today is the 50th anniversary of the publication of Rachael Carson’s Silent 
Spring. For a reflective read, check out the article Insecticides and Birds, 
which was presented orally to the National Audubon Society in November 1958, 
later published in Audubon Magazine (Jan-Feb 1959), and reprinted in the WI 
Ornithological Society’s Journal: The Passenger Pigeon (linked article). The 
article details how a serendipitous American Robin study on the University of 
Michigan campus in Lansing, MI documented the decimation of the local breeding 
American Robin population due to spraying of DDT over the campus to treat Dutch 
Elm Disease.

For an excellent recent reflection on DDT, Rachel Carson, and our modern toxic 
stew, see Paul Ehrlich’s piece linked below:

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins and snow

[bilbaker]

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!

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins and Goldfinches in abundance

[Anne R. Hobbs]

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 their full breeding 
plumage looked like yellow flowers in the snow of our trees...

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[bilbaker]

I meant to post yesterday, but forgot...I haven't seen any Siskin postings
recently. We still have a few at our feeders.  Yesterday we had 3 when I
first looked outside at 8 or so,  and there were 3 around again this
morning as well.  Both times with the flock of Goldfinches that frequent
the yard.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[Anne Marie Johnson]

I have had 3 siskins coming in a flock of goldfinches here, as well, 
although I haven't seen the siskins since yesterday morning. Interesting 
coincidence given that we are only about 3 miles apart, but I doubt it 
could be the same flock (especially since that Evening Grosbeak you had a 
year or two ago never came by here!).


Today a Purple Finch joined the goldfinches.

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[bob mcguire]

Susan, Ann, and I just returned from the Summer Hill area. There were  
several PINE SISKINS at feeders along Lake Como Rd - #1182. This is  
just south of Nick's house  feeders.


On our way home we detoured east of Elm St Ext to watch a flock of  
some 60 Horned Larks, 2 SNOW BUNTINGS, and 3 LAPLAND LONGSPURS.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[Richard Tkachuck]

With Bob's notice, we immediately set out. We found two PINE SISKINS just
where it was noted, though we thought the address was #1184 down at the
edge of the lake. We also located the 3 LAPLAND LONGSPURS on the Elm Street
Ext, about 200 meters east of Salt Road. This was at 2:30 pm

Thanks Bob!

[cayugabirds-l] Siskins

[bob mcguire]

While out with one of the dogs a few minutes ago, I had a flock of  
some 25 Pine Siskins fly over, calling, and heading SE. Snyder Hill  
area.


Also my first White-throated Sparrows of the fall, singing in the  
shrubs.

[cayugabirds-l] siskins!

[Asher Hockett]

I took some time out to watch my feeders this afternoon, looking for
Redpolls, and a trio of Pine Siskins parked themselves at the Nyger seed
instead. First in several years. They just sit and feast.

I am sure the Redpolls are not far off.
