These are some great ideas and comments, Dave, Geo, and Suan.
I'm having a hard time keeping track of the different chains of discussion on
this topic, so if this is repeated for some of you, I apologize. It's
interesting to see, too, that we have had some overlapping ideas. One thing

That's great! Amazing photos!
I JUST today saw an adult Red-headed Woodpecker at a feeder on Congress St.,
near the corner of Senenca St (not Seneca Road). I didn't submit it to eBird,
but now I will. Possibly moved over a block or two?

Hi everyone,
Very, very well put Ken. It is indeed a significantly tricky balance. My
partner and I are organic grain (and hay) farmers in the Ithaca area (~1400
acres, involving numerous large fields), who make our living 100% from farming.
We would also consider ourselves bird enthusiasts, an
I had one right near my house this week, too!
Exciting!

I saw a Hermit Thrush yesterday afternoon on Connecticut Hill, deep in the

Very interesting, Pete.
Bob, Diane, Ken and I watched Snow Buntings "digging" and rubbing in the snow
today, too. One was practically flinging snow around cartoon style. In Lansing.

I once encountered A LOT of chickadees along Cayuga Lake. There was a row of
trees beside the road, and as a couple of us were birding the lake, there was a
steady stream of chickadees moving past us in the trees headed north, so it was
easy to tell they weren't the same birds. I don't see my eB
I had one at my feeders this past week, too. In Newfield, the day before the
storm. I haven't seen it since.

This afternoon, I was in our kitchen when there was a sudden gun-shot sound at
the window. I rushed outside to look and saw a Sharp-shinned or Coopers Hawk
with a Mourning Dove fall to the ground nearby in a flurry of feathers. My
presence made the hawk fly off even though I dodged right back in
One adult male at my feeders today. With very numerous tree sparrows, juncos,
chickadees and titmice.
Braving the cold and wind.

Crows (4 to 12 at a time, who knows if they are the same birds, with more in
the trees) have ascended upon my bird feeders, eating spilled seed on the
ground. I've never had crows as a feeder bird before, although we have many
around our grain farm. Pretty impressive; they look huge next to the
The redpolls on Tucker Rd., Trumansburg, are continuing. I was there today at
11 am and at noon, and they were there, feeding on seeds of velvet leaf, and
foraging on the ground, and on the shoulder of the road.

Looked like the seeds of "weeds" - plants alongside the road.

I saw them there today at 2 pm, as well - maybe 130-40? It was really difficult
counting them in the wind!
They were about 1/4 mile down from the corner of Tucker and Aiken Roads, on the
east side of Tucker, feeding in the brush and vegetation alongside the road.
Very easy to see! Great!

So happy that I got some here at my feeders this morning (in Newfield, near
Connecticut Hill)! Quite a few of them, I'd guess about 20, and the crabapple
tree where the feeders are seemed full of them. Unfortunately, they flew off
rather quickly. Hoping they return.
