[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

[cayugabirds-l] Redpolls in Newfield yesterday

A flock of around 50 Common Redpolls visited my Newfield back yard yesterday around noon. It may have been more than 50, but I was indoors and they were very close to the house, so I could only count them in small groups. They stayed for just a few minutes, but what a treat those few minutes

I’m seeing quite a lot of activity at my feeders in Newfield, but fewer American Goldfinches for some reason. Over 20 Mourning Doves, lots of House Finches, DE Juncos, Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, Chickadees and Tufted Titmouse, several Downy, Hairy, and Red-bellied woodpeckers, 2 Pileated

[cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park swan pen Baltimore Oriole nest

Being a semi-noob birder, I'm going to say I'm not 100% sure of what I saw, never having watched Orioles do this ... I think I spotted a Baltimore Oriole nest under construction yesterday. With binoculars I was able to follow a male carrying nest material from the lake side of the path to the

The one day I didn't carry my binoculars! I've never heard a Common Yellowthroat anywhere near there. It was singing from the honeysuckle bushes along the creek south of the stone footbridge, at ~11:45 this morning. I didn't have time to stick around and get a look at it. Laura --

[cayugabirds-l] Carolina Wrens

Hi all, There are 2 Carolina Wrens attempting to build nests in hanging baskets on my porch. Is that normal behavior? Should I discourage them? I'm not sure how I'll be able to water the plants without damaging the nests. What will happen to them over the winter? Laura -- Cayugabirds-L List

[cayugabirds-l] Another nesting Carolina Wren question

They really went to town today. The hollowed out parts of both baskets are stuffed with moss and all kinds of other material. One basket is accessible by chipmunks, which I know is disastrous for the wrens. It's hanging on a shepherd's hook attached to the porch railing. I can remove the hook
