Re: [cayugabirds-l] question about white-throated sparrows

I'm wondering where you all live? In the country? I have had one only rarely and live in town in Ithaca. But the last few weeks I have had one almost every day. On Wed, Feb 3, 2021 at 3:07 PM Marilyn Ray wrote: > About seven or eight winters ago, we had a pair of white throats all > winter

Re: [cayugabirds-l] question about white-throated sparrows

About seven or eight winters ago, we had a pair of white throats all winter and have had them ever since until last year when we had our usual pair plus maybe two more and nor we've had about six or seven all this winter.  The first winter the pair only ate from fallen seeds beneath the

[cayugabirds-l] Bluebird sleeping quarters

Each night, there are 4 Eastern Bluebirds tucking themselves into crooks and crannies of a locust tree behind my house. They gather on the tree in the afternoon and emerge at first light. I can't tell them apart so I wonder if they each go to the same spot or if they vie for the choicest
