Janet Akin, sister of Nancy Loomis (homeowner), reported that the Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch showed up at 6:26 a.m. this morning. Nancy sent me a message that a TV crew from Channel 7 out of Watertown is on the way to her house! Little does the rosy finch know how famous it is becoming! Locust Grove must be experiencing a boon in tourism! Nancy also mentioned "what a nice bunch of guys" visited yesterday, and today, she mentioned it has been great to meet everyone visiting. She particularly enjoyed reading Corey Finger's blog (I'll list the link below for members of Northern NY Birds): http://10000birds.com/gray-crowned-rosy-finch-in-new-york.htm Beautiful photos Corey! Thank you for writing such an interesting blog - I found it wonderful to read more about the bird's behavior, and its behavior around the other feeder species. Thanks to Benjamin and Seth for identifying the bird's subspecies.
