We had a three individuals arrive in November, stay a few days and nothing since. The same for white-throated sparrows. None of the irrupting finches have graced this western basin location. We do have three or four Red-breasted nuthatch that bred here again this year and appear to be staying with us; we now have had them year-round for 3 consecutive years.
We are curious as to what happened with the tree sparrows this fall. Does anyone have them or white-throated sparrows in numbers? The Schuyler County CBC will be on 31 December this year. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
