This is from the BNA article on Carolina Chickadees, supporting Geo's
observation:
Winter flocks move horizontally at an average rate of 6 m/min, with a daily
pattern of rapid movement in early morning (07:00–10:00: 8 m/min) and in late
afternoon until roosting (15:00–19:00: 7 m/min), with
I also think that many of these redpolls are still actively moving.
These birds may have come in, fed briefly and then taken off for some
place a hundred miles away. While we often think of migration being in
May and September, there probably isn't a single month of the year
where at least some
Hi everyone,
Having watched a few winter irruptives over the last couple weeks, both
redpolls and Bohemian Waxwings, while in Alberta I've been forming my own
opinions about what these birds are doing. It's not just redpolls that are
behaving as Laura described but I was watching a flock
In the last week of Dec and on the CBC count day, I carried out a number of
stationary counts from a parking lot at IC to see what was moving in the
mornings. There was regular southbound passage of redpoll flocks, at least
in the first two hours of daylight. For example, on Jan 1 I had three
I stopped at Cayuga Vista Lane this morning around 9:50 hoping the
previously reported N Shrike would still be there, and it was. It was
perched on the wires about 2/3 of the way down from Rt. 34 to where Cayuga
Vista turns to the left.

One was still there today; however migrated across the road to inside
the airfield. He hovered a while and then retreated to perch on top of
an orange post as a plane took off.

So far about 2000 crows have headed towards Robert Purcell. If they went beyond
that I can't see. Now the stream has thinned out a bit (4.19 PM). They came
from beyond Vet school, or may be from dump or from fields around.
By now it is almost over (4.21 PM).

Hi all,
2012 was a fun birding year and a little different from my typical. I

every bird seen. The surprising thing was it didn't diminish the total number
of species seen. I actually had my
I tried to find both the shrike on Cayuga Vista Lane and the one on Cherry
Road without success yesterday afternoon. However, I had better luck with
the one John Confer reported on Flat Iron Road. I saw that shrike perched
high in a tree fairly close to the Hammond Hill end of the road at about
