[cayugabirds-l] Snow shoveling pays

2012-12-30 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
About 2 p.m. I went to fill a feeder but had to shovel to get to it. As I 
stopped to rest I glanced up  saw an adult BALD EAGLE flying westward towards 
the lake, almost overhead, slightly southward! Nice treat!

Several HOUSE FINCHES,  about 30 GOLD FINCHES,  8 or 10 C. REDPOLLS have been 
chowing down  fighting over sunflower  niger seeds at the feeders here by the 
house. Backlighting keeps me from identifying all that are up at the hill 
feeders  a lot are there. Lots of house sparrows, for sure.

I  heard several gunshots while I was outside. Haven't seen any geese today  
only a wee flock yesterday. 

Fritzie, in Union Springs, 

where it's very windy, 30 deg.  sorta' blizzard-like.

Manure spreading pays too! Yesterday's load brought horned larks and snow 
buntings by the dozens!
