[cayugabirds-l] Evening Grosbeaks in CNY
Hello all, I had to follow up on a project today, so I searched all the Southern Highland hotspots for Evening Grosbeaks. Shackham Rd at the Cortland/Onondaga County line: 30+ EVENING GROSBEAKS and Common redpolls and a few Pine Siskins Jones Rd --Cazenovia, Madison County: 40+ EVENING GROSBEAKS and Common Redpolls. Paradise Hill Rd -- DeRuyter, Madison County: ~70 EVENING GROSBEAKS and 30 Common Redpolls and afew Pine Siskins Lake Rd -- McDonough, Chenango County: 40+ EVENING GROSBEAKS and Common Redpolls. Of course there's a flock of ~25 EVENING GROSBEAKS hanging out on Fillmore Rd Cayuga County. If they aren't at this house they are often just down the hill at the Eaton Rd feeders --this is also just in the basin. The only place I struck out was at the feeders in Northwest Corners, Chenango County. Small flocks of 5-30 Common Redpolls were present at every feeder station I stopped at today. cheers, Matt Young myhosting.com - Premium Microsoft® Windows® and Linux web and application hosting - http://link.myhosting.com/myhosting -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
Re: [cayugabirds-l] Bluebirds
Hi M, K, All, My opinion in answer to your question is they are birds that spent the summer WAY further north. If banded we could learn.

We seem to have Bluebirds all year round which makes me wonder if these are summer birds that stay or is the southern home for those that live a little further north?
