We may be having a similar situation here in the Capital district with a
loon that we suspect to be a Pacific Loon showing up around the same time in
the same place on Tomhannock Reservoir (Troy city water supply) for several
years. In fact, it was about 10 years ago that one first showed up here.
I suspect it's one bird who took a novel route the first time but found that it worked well, so it repeats the trip annually. I share your curiosity about what makes the Sheldrake area attractive to the Pacific Loon, but maybe it's just the most easy-to-view portion of a much larger part of the la

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

under the feeders for the last 3 or 4 days. I can barely keep the
feeders full!

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

Good Birding,
