feeders, but today at the same time I had a pair of them (m & f)!

At the risk of making this a longer-than-wanted discussion, I will briefly
answer—and then retreat!
I just read Magnus’ report on Louder et al’s study from U Illinois and
downloaded the actual paper and here is the story. No one is leaving at 3 am!
Or flying out of a nest as a nestling. To

Also at Myers Park - a pair of Merlins! Very vocal - we saw them copulate,
and one of the merlins flew to a nest in a pine tree near Pavilion A.

Cool. That’s the old Fish Crow nest. Merlins sure do love Fish Crow nests!
They’re using them all over town.

We had a beautiful Eastern Towhee foraging and singing in the yard this
afternoon. I think this is the first time that I've had one as a yardbird
here in 30 years.

Thanks! Yes Indeed it seems that in the 2015 study, cowbird youngsters
(*fledglings*) were *spending the night away* from their slave parents and then
return *not* to the *nest* but to the foster parents' location -- for more
slave feeding. This scenario does make more sense, yes, so it may we
One sang in my yard in Forest Home, Ithaca -- but after singing for 2 days, it
stopped and was gone. Migrating, just passing through perhaps?

We had one on the black diamond trail this morning, between Garrett and

Our Towhee is back today (or at least this morning is the first time I've
heard him) here at our home in Caroline. Just repeatedly uttering the
"drink" part of "drink-your-tea."
One day earlier than I registered his return last year.

Yes, there is a bit. They both look pretty much the same, and they’re often
located in the same general area of trees (except that Fish Crows can nest WAY
high in deciduous trees). In general, Fish Crows use more sticks and don’t make
a mud-and-grass-filled center layer.
So, for American Crows

I came across a loose flock of twenty some Ruby-crowned Kinglets foraging (and
singing) along Beech Hill Brook in the Lindsay-Parsons Preserve early this
morning. Can’t swear there weren’t any Golden-crowns among them, but I didn’t
spot any, or hear any either. A couple of Brown Creepers were pa
Thanks, Anne, for clearing that up. It’s much less bizarre that the fledglings,
after being old enough fly well, move out of the host territory at dusk to
roost, but still fascinating because it’s not clear why they should leave if
they are only going back again in the morning. Maybe they don’t
