Just took my lunch break on the front stoop here in Bdale, and despite the typically "low bird activity" time of day (1:45 pm), had the good company of the following in our feeder/spruce/crabapple feeder area in our front yard:
Brown Thrashers 2, one on the edge of our front yard, one I could hear towards the rear of the house House finches 2 Purple Finch 1 Goldfinches 14 Field Sparrows--a couple at the feeders and 2 across the street singing White Throated Sparrows 4 White Crowned Sparrows 3 Grackles 5 RWBB 6+ Rosebreasted Grosbeak 5, all male Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers 2, one across the street hammering on the metal gate, and one at the edge of our front yard House Wren 1 at the edge of the yard Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 BC Chickadees 4 House Sparrows 2 Blue Jays 5 and a variety of other singers for background vocals in the back field, including Meadowlark Excellent way to bird! -holly -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
