Upon reading the literature, it appears that captive house finches can
have yellow coloration because of the lack of carotenoids in their
diet. Would the most likely explanation for this particular bird be
that it escaped from captivity?

Had our first Brown Thrasher in our yard at 120 Vine St. in
Ithaca. Beautiful
bird. It was literally "excavating" for insect larvae with its long bill.=
Since 1998, our earliest first yard sighting before this was April
10!!

This morning Sara Jane saw a GRACKLE. I assume a few are still hanging
around. Better not wait too long!!

This morning at Upper Buttermilk I came upon 2 SCARLET TANAGERS
counter-singing across the road. What was so unusual was the ferocity
and speed by which one bird sang. I've never heard a tanager singing so
rapidly and with such intensity!

This afternoon we had a PINE SISKIN show up at one of our feeders,
competing with the goldfinches. Is it unusual to have that species here
at this time?

For the past couple days we've had a RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD with ORANGE
EPAULETS --- no red whatsoever. Have others noticed this in this
species before?

FINCH on Easter sunday (both male and female).
Should also mention that we've been having a JUNCO subspecies intergrade
with a light brown back and crown. Its bill is also a lighter pink than
the normal slate-colored birds.

An absolutely gorgeous YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER male just came to one of
our peanut feeders. Doubtful this is a migrant, since our first
sightings don't occur until April.

Two COMMON REDPOLL (M & F) returned to our yard today. They seem to be
feeding more comfortably with the other birds, so perhaps they will
stick around for awhile.

look elsewhere, as I have not seen them since. I sure
hope they decide to return, and I hope others of you in the city will be
fortunate enough to have them come to your feeders.
