Yesterday I drove around a bit and saw several flocks of flickers, starting with 5 in our front yard. At the end Karen and I saw 21 flickers in one mowed lawn. (I don’t even want to report such an implausible number, but we did.)
Today at our feeders: Newly noted female Pileated (to go along with the fore-mentioned male) (If your spouse gets excited and waves a hand at the newly arrived female Pileated so that it fleas away despite warning not to move, is this justification for spousal abuse?) And the other woodpeckers also 1 Fox Sparrow 1 Chipping 1 Field 2 Song 3 White-throats 8 Tree ~15 Siskin ~20 goldfinch ~25 juncos 2 Purple Finch (House Finch yesterday) Pine Warbler trying to feed at the turret of a black oil sunflower feeder. (I scraped some mealworms out of our constant culture and put them on a tray for the warbler, but I didn’t see the warbler come down to the tray.) 1 accipiter passing through 1 turkey hen 6 deer I do sit at the windows with binocs in hand quite a lot. I don’t think it is good for the birds, especially the Pine Warbler, but I still can enjoy it. -- 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/ --
