Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins in Brooktondale

This is pure speculation - but we had a flock of 40 +/- PISK on January 1st 
(Christmas count) foraging on white pine cones in the small grove at the corner 
of Hanshaw and Etna Roads. Same flock???

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins in Brooktondale

2024-01-31 Thread Dave Nutter 
I have yet to see Pine Siskins at my feeders, although I can’t swear they 
aren’t among the birds who empty them daily when I’m not looking, and I’m 
impressed by how well the winter-plumaged Goldfinches blend in with the dead 
Goldenrod. 

So I followed up on yesterday’s eBird report (below) by Caleb Centanni at 
Comstock Knoll, east of Beebe Lake on Cornell Campus. Although the Pine Siskins 
were not evident in the particular tree which Caleb described, I saw about the 
same number as he did feeding on cones in the tops of other tall White Pines 
immediately to the west of the Nevin Welcome Center and elsewhere around the 
short paved loop of former road. This is the first time I have actually 
associated this species with Pines. Previously I had thought they deserved a 
name change. 

If you want to get closer to their elevation you can climb a few stairs on 
gravel paths to the summit of Comstock Knoll. For better lighting in case it’s 
sunny you may be able to scope them from the paid parking lot near the west end 
of Arboretum Rd. I walked in from the free parking lot for the Wildflower 
Garden off of Forest Home Drive just south of the upstream one-lane bridge over 
Fall Creek near where Caldwell Rd ends. The gravel paths from there were free 
of snow and the wooden stairs up out of the flood plain were nearly free of 
snow and quite passable.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins

2020-10-21 Thread Susan Norvell 
We're swamped with Pine Siskins here in the Belle Sherman area in Ithaca. We 
had two about a week ago, and the number has grown since. At least 15 clustered 
at the base of our seed feeder yesterday and this morning, while another 6 eat 
at the perches. They are nearly impossible to count while on the ground. They 
pack so tightly together while feeding it looks a bit like a rugby scrum.

Our siskins are generally tame. I can approach within a few feet of the feeders 
before they flee. And they don't seem to react at all to my calling the cat, 
whereas the jays and squirrels run like heck.

Seemed like possible fledgling, but that's only a guess. I haven't heard/seen 
any other siskins since winter incursion. If they nested in the area, it wasn't 
very close.

I just took a closer look at who is here feeding and voila:   Pine Siskin 
amidst the feeding flurry. Also Brown Creeper at suet again.

Lately I've only got two Pine Siskins, but some 20 Purple Finches, plus plenty 
of Goldfinches. Probably at least 6 Fox Sparrows... hard to get a count on them 
because the ground is reappearing and they've gone back to singing from deep in 
the thickets.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins are like potato chips...except in Sapsucker Woods today

2011-10-06 Thread Matthew Medler 
This is a great excuse to plug eBird's great new mapping interface:

http://ebird.org/ebird/map/pinsis?neg=trueenv.minX=env.minY=env.maxX=env.maxY=zh=falsegp=falsemr=onbmo=10emo=10yr=1900-2011byr=1900eyr=2011

A quick check of this map shows that it's not unusual for Pine Siskins reports 
in our area in early to mid October and it's also not unusual for single 
individuals to be reported.


What a great eBird tool--much better than digging through old Cayugabirds 
messages!

Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins are like potato chips...except in 
Sapsucker Woods today


Hi everyone,
 
   On my way in to work this morning, I was surprised to see a single PINE 
SISKIN sitting atop one of the snags on the west end of the main pond in 
Sapsucker Woods…surprised for two reasons:
(1)    It seemed rather early for siskins to appear, although there was a 
little burst of eBird records in mid-September with none between then and now, 
and 
(2)    In my experience “siskins” is almost invariably plural…like potato chips.
I was puzzled as to how a single Pine Siskin could end up so early and so 
alone…and apparently with no other reports in the immediate area and date 
range.  I think I know what happened now, thanks to Dave Bonter pointing out 
today’s blog entry from Braddock Bay: roughly 350 Pine Siskins hit the nets in 
Braddock Bay yesterday without any warning of a lead-up trickle over the 
previous days.  So, it appears that there was a big movement of siskins into 
this general region, and I presume that the lone bird that I saw was either 
navigationally or socially challenged and overshot the main movement.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine Siskins are like potato chips...except in Sapsucker Woods today

2011-10-06 Thread Kenneth Victor Rosenberg 
I'm glad Wes beat me to the punch, but this morning  I had at least two PINE 
SISKINS flying over my house calling -- I heard them several times and had the 
impression they were local birds moving about rather than multiples migrating 
overhead, but could have been wrong. So, at least there were several in the 
neighborhood today.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pine siskins

2011-05-02 Thread WRoberts 
We had two or three Pine Siskins, 1 female Purple Finch, dozens of 
Goldfinches, pair of Carolina Wrens, RB Nuthatch, WB Nuthatch, RB 
Woodpecker, Hairy, Downy, WT Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, Blue Jay, 
Cardinal, House Finches ,Am. Robin, etc. at or under our feeders this 
morning. A pair of Pileatred Woodpeckers searched the adjacent wood lot.


There were E. Meadowlarks, Bobolinks and Savannah Sparrows in the 
fields  north of Lake R. of Rt 90  and west of the King Ferry Winery on 
Sunday morning May 1st. I looked and listened for Grasshopper Sparrows 
in the same area but the outcome was negative for this species. I saw 
one Norther Harrier in the distance but it did not work the fields 
mentioned.

A couple of Pine Siskins just dropped in at my place too, to join the  
Goldfinches and Purple Finches.
