Hi Cobirders Friday afternoon I had a partial albino finch feeding
on the ground and up into the chokecherry, It had a
white patch on top of its head, one on its wing and another on its
lower back. I think it looked very much like the one
I had last winter. The camera failed to work when I tried.
Today I had big flock of Redwings (perhaps 150) come to the cable
drum feeder. The drum was covered with them
and more waiting on the wire above and still more in the Russian
Olive. They soon all flew off.
I often see the large flock in the large trees to the north and east.
In the fall I Have smaller flocks of them. I also get one or two
lots of days. Being in large flocks seems to make them
scarce at small feeders. There is safety in numbers I guess. There
needs to be food for all. When the flock gets to
be big. They will fly onto the front lawns here and neighbors and
often "gang-plow" the lawns finding something
before all going off together.
Later there were about 20 Eurasian-collared Doves feeding under the
Russian Olive. they maybe finding Olives
fallen from the tree or even fallen thistle seed. They come around
every day. They like the millet.
