Today at 1145, I brushed off the stone wall and laid sunflower along the top. Within 1/2 hour I had two Black Rosy Finches. They ate for about 15 minutes before flying off with two others(not sure were these guys came from or which kind of Rosy-Finch). In the hour I was there, I did not see the Golden-crowned Sparrow. He may be there but it seemed like everything else was eating. There was large numbers of juncos, including a White-winged, 6 Spotted Towhees, lots of Scrub Jays,adult White-crowned Sparrow, several Song Sparows, 2 Magpies, and others. The last few times I was there, I noticed a cat skulking in the brush behind the feeders. I try to chase it off but it doesn't take long before it returns. If the cat hasn't already, the chances are increasing that he may bring an end to the 4-year run of this Golden-crown. Any ideas on what we can do?
