I have had 2 PINE SISKINS in with my many A. GOLDFINCHES here at my feeders over the last 2 months or so. The siskins more or less stick together and many days I do not see them.
Also, along with all my usual feeder birds, I saw a juvenile BALD EAGLE soaring around and then perching on my White Oak tree on the cliff overlooking the lake. The A. CROW family wasted no time in coming over to mob the eagle, who sat up there awhile looking all about before it took off and gracefully flew north. The eagle had a half-yellow bill and when the feathers on its head blew up in the wind, the feathers appeared buffy-colored. After the eagle show, I spotted to the east side of the road, soaring around in circles against the clear blue sky, a lovely RED TAILED HAWK.

But I'm pretty confident they've been here when I wasn't looking. My next-door neighbor even picked one up a few weeks ago after it collided with her window. -Geo Sent from my iPhone -- 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/ -- -- 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/ --
