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!

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

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Purple Finches

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?

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