[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Common Redpolls

2020-12-13 Thread Marie P. Read
Around 11:30 this morning (Sunday) Gladys Birdsall and I watched a large of 
flock of (Common) Redpolls flying around the fields just east of the towers on 
Mt Pleasant Road. She estimated 200 birds and I agree. More than there have 
been of late up there.

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Common Redpolls

2020-12-07 Thread Marie P. Read
Around 11 this morning, I caught sight of a largish flock of Common Redpolls 
swirling over the clover field along the dirt road to the communication towers 
on Mt Pleasant Rd. This is essentially where Gladys Birdsall first found them a 
couple of weeks ago. I go up there most days, and while the redpolls are not 
consistently visible, I bet they're around.

2020-11-28 Thread Jane Leff
At 1pm, redpolls are still there! I parked at the corner of Mount Pleasant
and the unmarked road of towers, (not to be confused with Tower Rd.) About
0.2 mile up that unmarked road, on left in the overgrown fields, were
swarms of redpolls! I cheated and used the Merlin recordings to attract
them & boy did it work! They came right up to me and swarmed all around me.
Heaven!

Around 3pm I and several others saw a/the redpoll flock flying overhead a 
couple of times, at one point landing to feed on weeds in the very field where 
they spent several weeks two years ago. This is the overgrown field just before 
the crest of the first hill as you travel west up Mt Pleasant Rd,on the south

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant COMMON REDPOLLS

2019-03-29 Thread Marie P. Read
Hi everyone,

Around 11 this morning (Friday) I found a flock of 100 or so Common Redpolls 
along the edge of the road at the easternmost end of Mt Pleasant Road, same 
field where they spent much of the past winter. Cool that they are still 
around...some of the males are getting very pink!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mt. Pleasant Common Redpolls...singing!

2019-03-26 Thread Gladys Birdsall
This morning 3/26, I went out to the garage and realized the chorus I 
was hearing were Common Redpolls.  They were really singing away. Went 
in to grab my binocs.  Note-it is hard to find tiny grey birds in 
treetops of grey leafless trees.  Not till they flew did I finally see 
where they were.  Some were preening, chasing each other and then some 
started flying back to the west and southwest, back into the woods.  
This was about 9:30 AM. They were very active and vocal, and had all 
dispersed by about 10:15.  I think they were warming up in all that 
sunshine.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mt. Pleasant Common Redpolls...singing!

2019-03-24 Thread Barbara Bauer Sadovnic
Encouraged by Marie’s report, I went looking for the Tucker Rd. redpolls, and 
found them, around 5:45!  About 40, chattering, in the scrubby apple tree I’ve 
found them before, and in the weeds below.  I hadn’t seen them since March 1, 
though I’ve been there many times.

And nearby was a mockingbird, showing off everything he’s ever heard.  Possibly 
the mockingbird now can speak redpoll.

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Common Redpolls - still...

2019-03-11 Thread Marie P. Read
Hi everyone,

Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon there was a flock of 100 or so Common Redpolls 
over the weedy field between the radio tower on Mt Pleasant Rd and the farm in 
the dip between the hills. Later (around 3pm) I saw presumably the same flock 
in the weedy field on the easternmost hill of MT Pleasant Rd where they spent 
many weeks previously. Despite many weed stems, there are very few seeds left 
in these fields, but I am still only getting a couple of redpolls at my feeders 
each day. So the large flock must be finding plenty of wild food.

And on another topic, anyone seeing Wild Turkeys displaying yet?

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant COMMON REDPOLLS - a few

2019-01-24 Thread Marie P. Read
Hi all,

There was a small (20 or so) flock of Common Redpolls near the roadside on Mt 
Pleasant Rd about 1 hour ago.
And just now in my yard, a male House Finch was softly and tentatively warbling 
his song from hidden in a shrub as the rain turns to snow!

At around 9am this morning, a large flock of Common Redpolls was flying around 
the field just west of the observatory, south side of the road. Lots of very 
dense weed stems in here, so they’re hard to see unless they’re in flight.

Marie's redpoll flock on Mount Pleasant continues to grow, with over 150
individuals now present, including a female HOARY REDPOLL found yesterday
by Sarah Toner and Logan Kahle. I saw it for a few minutes first thing this
morning in a part of the group close to the road before they started to
drift farther south. The Snow Bunting flock that is often associated with
the redpolls now numbers around 275 birds, with a handful of Horned Larks
and a couple (as many as 5 reports) LAPLAND LONGSPURS around the edges.
This is all along the slope at the east end of Mount Pleasant Road.

A flock of about 30 Common Redpolls continues to associate with the growing 
Snow Bunting flock on Mt Pleasant Rd this morning. They all were in the weedy 
field opposite the communications tower, both around 10:30 when I first saw 
them and around 11:30 when I returned. Basically the same spot as I saw them 2

Tip for spotting the redpolls: look for the birds that are clinging to the 
plant stems...that would be the redpolls, whereas the Snow Buntings are mostly 
foraging on the ground.

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant COMMON REDPOLLS!

2018-12-02 Thread Marie P. Read
It's been quite the birdy day up here on the mountain.

A flock of 13 Common Redpolls was feeding alongside the road when I came back 
from my walk in the rain (11 am). They were feeding on chickory seeds, and flew 
off into the weedy field opposite the radio tower on Mt Pleasant Rd to join a 
growing flock of Snow Buntings that I have seen there regularly over the past 
few days. It will be well worth checking that field if you are in the area.

Earlier a flock of at least 16 Evening Grosbeaks visited the feeders for 15 
mins or so, sometimes also joining a flock of at least twice that many Cedar 
Waxwings to feed on buckthorn berries in a tree just beyond my feeders.

That's cheered up my mood on this rainy day considerably!!

A large flock (I'd say 100+) Common Redpolls is now consorting with the even 
larger flock of Snow Buntings on Mt Pleasant. As of this morning they were 
foraging on the north side of Mt Pleasant Rd, from 8:30 until around 10:30 am 
they were in the field just east of the radio tower, but now have moved into 
the adjacent field toward the sheep farm in the valley west of the radio 
tower. 

The redpolls are feeding on the same vegetation as the buntings (I think it is 
some alfalfa mixed in with grasses). I spent several hours there this morning 
shooting video footage of the flocks (...and am now looking for a business 
partner who simply loves editing video!!! I shot 8 GB of footage just 
now...somewhat overwhelming to think of editing all that)
