Dave's story of the Chickadee nest reminded me that I wanted to share a
new nest sighting.
While birding Mulholland Preserve yesterday I saw two Ravens chasing a
Red-tailed Hawk from the gorge downstream, presumably away from their nesting
location. The same Red-tails have a
2 of them still at my feeder this morning in downtown Newfield.

Six lingering Common Redpolls at our feeders in Lansing were joined by a
Field Sparrow this morning. It's the first time we've seen the latter
species at the feeders.

We still have Common Redpolls coming to our feeders today.
There are also two male Purple Finches sitting next to a male House Finch in a
seed tray, allowing a good comparison of the differences. Nice look at the
curved vs. straight culmen of the beak.

We had a report of a RTHA with jesses seen at the intersection of Stillwell and
Sirrine Rds yesterday. This is a TBurg section of eastern Schuyler Cty near the
FLNF. We don't know of any falconers based operating in the area.

I'd like to pick up a book on backyard bird-feeding for my brother-in-law.
He's very much the amateur, not really a bird watcher; more the sort who picks
up a bag of seed and a feeder at Agway and leaves it at that. I think he'd
like to do more. I think he's put up a birdhouse or two as
Kevin (McGowan) I just saw SANDERLING and DUNLIN. They are very active.

Viewed from the bridge over Fall Creek at Forest Home this afternoon, small
