Have a very dandy male Rose-breasted Grosbeak coming to the feeder this
morning, along with 8 or 10 Purple Finches. Yesterday's Brown Thrasher
continues. Fox Sparrows are still numerous. Eight male Wood Ducks and a pair of
Mallards on the pond.

Dave's story of the Chickadee nest reminded me that I wanted to share a
new nest sighting.
While birding Mulholland Preserve yesterday I saw two Ravens chasing a
Red-tailed Hawk from the gorge downstream, presumably away from their nesting
location. The same Red-tails have a new
Cool observations, Dave!
CHickadees nested in a skinny, very rotten trunk in my yard years ago, and one
day the trunk broke off just above the nest. I found the parent chickadees
fluttering around it anxiously. So I got some duct tape and stuck the broken
off piece of trunk back on, and they ca
Another really nice spring migrant appeared this morning --- a beautiful
male TOWHEE rummaging through the leaves in our flower bed.

There is an apparent SANDERLING out on the spit at Myers Point. It's giving
me some weird impressions and is in dull basic plumage, but does appear to
be a (very early) Sanderling. I'll take a look at my photos later to
confirm, but wanted to get the word out now.

Six lingering Common Redpolls at our feeders in Lansing were joined by a
Field Sparrow this morning. It's the first time we've seen the latter
species at the feeders.

We still have Common Redpolls coming to our feeders today.
There are also two male Purple Finches sitting next to a male House Finch in a
seed tray, allowing a good comparison of the differences. Nice look at the
curved vs. straight culmen of the beak.

We had a report of a RTHA with jesses seen at the intersection of Stillwell and
Sirrine Rds yesterday. This is a TBurg section of eastern Schuyler Cty near the
FLNF. We don't know of any falconers based operating in the area.

I'd like to pick up a book on backyard bird-feeding for my brother-in-law.
He's very much the amateur, not really a bird watcher; more the sort who picks
up a bag of seed and a feeder at Agway and leaves it at that. I think he'd
like to do more. I think he's put up a birdhouse or two as well
At around 4:45 this afternoon I had really nice looks at the AUDUBON'S

This weekend was Derby Hill for SFO. In spite of the cool temperature and NW
wind, I hope that those who ventured up there were rewarded by at least a few
good birds. For those who elected to stay here, I led the "local" group of some
dozen folks today.
