Hi All, We just had two female EVENING GROSBEAKS visit our feeders. We also had up to nine PINE SISKINS over the weekend and as I type this a GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET is moving around the feeder tree just 10' feet away! Good Birding, David McCartt Richford -- Cayugabirds-L List Info:

I had two females at my feeders on Etna road in Ithaca this morning as well. We had 8+ Pine Siskins about a week ago but haven't seen them since. We also have had 4 Fox Sparrows that are feeding on the ground under the feeders for the last 3 or 4 days. I can barely keep the feeders full!

[cayugabirds-l] Pacific Loon question

I may have asked this before - recycling questions for me is becoming more frequent - so forgive if a repeat. Every year for 6 or so years we've had a Pacific Loon at Sheldrake. I believe it is likely the same bird, but until one of us gets a lot closer that will remain speculation. If it isn't
