free trees for bird shelter... Re: [cayugabirds-l] Union Springs 12/28/15

[Melanie Uhlir]

Related to the note about C'mas trees being good cover for birds:
Home Depot is giving away leftover trees FREE in case anyone wants them 
for mulch or cover for birds.

[John and Fritzie Blizzard]

_Mill pond_ finally has feathers on it!

Redheads & Gadwalls ... at least 50 each
Green-winged teal  1 pair
Am. wigeon .. 2 pair
Bufflehead  10-12
Canada geese ... 12 +-
Mallards . 12 +-

_Factory St_. pond

Gadwall . one lonely pair.

_Overhead_, at home on east edge of the village:

Snow geese . 1,000 minimum ... heading south
Canadas .. 50+- ... going out to feed

Have had bluebirds, titmice, juncos, nuthatch, red-tail hawk, harrier,
red-bellied, downy & hairy woodpeckers, house & goldfinches,
A. robins, far too many house sparrows, 100s of crows & starlings,
night crawlers, flies & a honeybee.

Cold weather has finally set in so maybe things will be back to normal.
I scavenged a tossed C'mas tree, put it by a feeder on the clothesline
arm that birds have ignored & within about 15 min. a goldfinch was at
the feeder. Proof that birds prefer having "shelter" nearby.

Happy New Year, everyone. May your blessings be many.
