Hi all, A few days ago I posted a bird song, which sounded like both Junco and Goldfinch (only two of you dared to guess) turns out is a Dark-eyed Junco. Yesterday he was caught red handed. I have a cell phone video where you can see him. He was in the same nearby location as I had heard

I photographed the nest a week ago, on the 26th of April. There were two chicks and they looked pretty freshly hatched. One was being fed by a parent, but I never saw the other one move. I've put up two pics (not very good and heavily cropped to show detail) on the CBC web site in my photo

Cayuga bird list serv participants, I heartily embrace the request to provide a location when posting to this list serv. Although I attended Cornell and birded many of the areas mentioned, it has been along time and it is often very difficult to figure out where people are posting about.
