[cayugabirds-l] Chipping Sparrow

2015-02-14 Thread Ann Mitchell
I hadn't seen the Chipping Sparrow for awhile, but he is here this morning. I 
put a niger seed mix in a tray to attract American Goldfinch and hoping for 
Redpolls. Goldfinch came and the Chipping Sparrow made an appearance. It was in 
the tray with the finches. Cool! Ann

[cayugabirds-l] Carolina Wren

2015-02-14 Thread David McDermitt
There was a surprise visitor at our feeder this morning during the
snowstorm: a rather plump-looking Carolina Wren. It was clinging to the
suet feeder diligently picking at the suet while around it a mix of
Sparrows and Juncos worked the seed fallen from our other feeder.

I don't recall seeing it at our feeder before - perhaps the cold has forced
it in.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] REDPOLL FLOCK TRIPHAMMER TERRACE

2015-02-14 Thread Tom
Way outside the basin!

We've seen a total of 3 redpolls at our Lansing place, but as I type here in 
our camp near Old Forge, NY, I've counted no fewer than 15 right around the 
feeder.  That's my GBBC number, but they are so active they're hard to count.  
There may be twice that many in the trees nearby  around other corners of the 
camp.

[cayugabirds-l] Ovid Siskins and White-Crowned Sparrows

2015-02-14 Thread Alicia Plotkin
Yesterday we had our first pine siskins, two females, and today we had a 
male and female, on our nyger feeder.  We also continue to have one or 
two redpolls on the same feeder most days and the female flicker 
continues at the suet as do(es) a carolina wren or wrens - usually we 
have two but have not seen more than one at a time or heard the female 
singing this winter.  The wrens are tough and will drive away 
everything, including blue jays, starlings, and downy/hairy/red-bellied 
woodpeckers, but give way to the flicker. Two white throated sparrows 
and a half dozen tree sparrows are among the usual suspects eating 
sunflower seed.  We are in the woods on the far west side of the township.


A friend who isn't on this list reports he's been hosting a half-dozen 
white crowned sparrows eating sunflower seed the last several days, and 
also has about 30 tree sparrows who have been there all month.  He lives 
on a farm a bit southwest of the village of Ovid.


Stay warm -

Alicia
