Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches

[Geo Kloppel]

Hi Laurie and all,

I usually have a few Purple Finches at my winter feeders. About six lately. But 
my brother in Interlaken gets the congener House Finches instead. Guess it just 
depends on where you are situated!

Two female purple finches have been enjoying my Lodi feeders all day. I have 
never seen them here in winter before. Unmistakable whitish eyebrow. Anyone

Re: [cayugabirds-l] purple Finches

[Geo Kloppel]

My (mostly sunflower) feeding operation at home (West Danby) has attracted 
about 20 Purple Finches daily for the last week or so, along with a similar 
number of White-throated Sparrows, and the usual Goldfinches, Chickadees, 
Tufted Titmice, White and Red-breasted Nuthatches, Carolina Wrens, Juncos, 
Mourning Doves, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Downy Woodpeckers, Hairy Woodpeckers, 
Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Flickers, Pileated Woodpeckers, Crows and Turkeys. 
Actually the larger woodpeckers are feasting mostly at a badly infested ash 
tree. A Flicker is extracting marmonated stink bugs from the crevices in my 
house’s ship-lap siding. A tight group of Cedar Waxwings is usually somewhere 
nearby. The local Raven pair is very evident. I’ve watched an immature Cooper’s 
Hawk try her luck near the feeders several times. I expect I could find a 
Ruffed Grouse or two if I tramped around in snowshoes.

-Geo

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches

[Robin Tuttle]

Hi all, 

We had a trio of purple finches visit our feeders yesterday, two females and a 
male. We still have a beautiful Brown Thrasher coming to the ground under our 
feeders every day too. So nice to see this lively bird close up.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple finches in the snow

[Laura Stenzler]

Hi all,
 It's hard to believe, but it's snowing again up here on Hunt Hill Rd, Sunday 
afternoon at 6:20.  The goldfinches and purple finches are frantically chowing 
down on sunflower seeds before it gets dark. And, we have a record 5 male and 4 
female purple finches!  The maximum goldfinch number was 16 today, which 
happens to be my Cornell Feederwatch day!  I hope they all have nice, sheltered 
spots for tonight. It's likely to keep snowing.   
Happy spring!

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches

[Laura Stenzler]

Hi all,

 We still have a group of around 13 Purple Finches coming to our feeders.  I've 
seen up to 4 brilliant purple males and the rest are either young males (mostly 
female plumage with some purple on the throat) or female plumaged individuals.  
Yesterday we had our first 3 turkeys of the year, and a brief visit by a 
Coopers Hawk.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches/poss white bodied TV

[Donna Lee Scott]

2 gorgeous male PURPLE FINCHES at my backyard feeders just now!
Have seen one there for a few days.

Also, with all the reports of birds with unusual white feathers lately, here is 
another:  a new student in SFO who is a beginning birder, phoned me yesterday 
to report that she thinks she saw on E. Shore Drive (NY Rt. 34), Lansing, near 
Rod and Gun Club, a TURKEY VULTURE with a white BODY (not wing). It had the red 
head she said and was sitting on ground near the road as they drove by. She is 
pretty sure she knows what TVs look like.

[cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches!

[Melanie Uhlir]

I have been so jealous of people's yard Purple Finches! But I just had a 
gorgeous male and a very spiffy looking female along with a freshly 
painted male Goldfinch! What a delightful little group!


Wood Road in Freeville between Etna Road and Sheldon Road.

Both Park Preserves were pretty quiet yesterday morning. Too cold? 
Gorgeous day though.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches

[Melanie Uhlir]

Oh no!

I confess that I try to avoid information about wildlife mortality due 
to excessively softhearted wishful thinking.


Is this sudden death of finches unusual, or is it due to possible 
starvation conditions due to the harsh and long winter, not remediable 
by the arrival of migrating birds finding stocked feeders?
