I also spotted a FOY Field Sparrow in our yard this afternoon along with the 
huge numbers of Juncos coming for the millet seed.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple finch and "The yellow birds are back"

[Bard Prentiss]

Hi,

Gina spotted our first purple finch of the year this AM. They nest in the 
Norway Spruces next door. 

We also had our first male goldfinch in full breeding plumage at a feeder 
today.  Before today the yellow feathers were sparse and not particularly 
attractive. Then today, as if a new species had arrived, We were treated to the 
shocking yellow of our first "yellowbird" of the spring. 
"The yellow birds are back" was the very predictable  announcement , each 
spring, of a charming, now deceased couple in Dryden.  Knowing that I like 
birds they would give me a call as soon as they saw their first "yellowbird".  
I never had the heart to tell them that the dull, mostly greenish birds at 
their feeder all winter were were winter plumage "yellowbirds".

[cayugabirds-l] NE Ithaca, Fri 4/7

[Mark Chao]

This morning, I saw a BROWN THRASHER singing in our yard in suburban
northeast Ithaca.  I think it was the first thrasher I’ve ever found on our
street.



Not far away in the yard, a pair of EASTERN BLUEBIRDS has started to build
a nest in the same box where a pair successfully raised four young last
year.  Last weekend, the male was cleaning out pieces of last year’s nest.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the female made several trips to the nest with
new material.  She seemed to waste a lot of energy trying to jam very long
stiff twigs crosswise through the box opening.  But a few did bend enough
to get through.
