[nysbirds-l] Saratoga County Feeder Birds

2018-11-12 Thread Weiskotten, Kurt
Thought I should mention that I had two Common Redpolls at my Galway, NY feeders yesterday - the 11th. I have seen plenty of Siskin reports, but very few for Redpolls. Interesting combination of a single Rusty Blackbird, the Redpolls, and three Fox Sparrows yesterday, amongst many other

Bird was there at 12:45 today. Last seen preening for 10 minutes in the left most of three apple trees on the red barn property (trees are in a row adjacent to the red barn). The bird was not present the first half hour I was there. First spotted on the roadside wire to the west of the red

Thanks Larry. A similar owl poem I must post that is my favorite: If the Owl Calls Again By John Haines at dusk from the island in the river, and it's not too cold, I'll wait for the moon to rise, then take wing and glide to meet him. We will not speak, but hooded against the frost soar above

And of course, a relative, the eastern chipmunk is a notorious egg thief and will go after nestlings and other meaty creatures of circumstance. I have even seen a chipmunk readily eating the hind quarters of another chipmunk! [GPI Logo with Wreath] Kurt Weiskotten Environmental Scientist

In response to your Willet sighting, the following from the NC Bird ListServ: "4/19/16. This morning at 9:42 on Roanoke Island I had about 100 willets fly over in two flocks, headed north, maybe 30 in the first and 70 in the second, in view at the same time, very high in the sky. Jeff Lewis
