Re: [cayugabirds-l] 50 goldfinch, no siskins

2018-01-14 Thread John Confer 
An hour later, we had about 12 Pine Sisken at our feeder along with the 
goldfinch and then 4 Purple Finch showed up. Perhaps they arrived before today 
but the activity around our feeders may have lured them in around 11:00.


Still, I'll trade nearly the whole lot for one Snowy Owl.

Same here--none for a week or two, and now 8 (which we consider a good crowd). 
I'm still looking for a siskin.

We haven't had any goldfinch at our feeder for about a week, until yesterday. A 
few showed up yesterday, but today I counted ~50 on the ground under one of 
three feeders with a few more at each of the other feeders.


Gladly trade 25 American Goldfinch for one Pine Siskin, or 50 American 
Goldfinch for a Snowy Owl.

[cayugabirds-l] Sapsucker; Crows

2018-01-14 Thread Donna Lee Scott 
While I was outside walking, I found a pretty female YELLOW BELLIED SAPSUCKER 
eating cedar tree berries in my woods across from house. It was hanging around 
with a DOWNY WOODPECKER.

All day I have enjoyed watching 5 AMERICAN CROWS feeding under the trees and 
feeders in my yard. 1 or 2 sit up in the trees while the other 3-4 feed on the 
ground, I presume they might be acting as "guards or lookouts".

No Siskins or Redpolls - yet.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] snowy owl Thorpe Road

2018-01-14 Thread Candace Cornell 
It's great to hear of live Snowy Owls being seen. So many young ones are
dying of starvation this year. There is a steep learning curve for young
predatory birds hunting prey and many are not making it.
