Post by: Bird Brain on August 01, 2009, 08:49:57 PM

Hi everybody.

Tonight at Lake Aquitaine, 4 juv. Cedar Waxwings at the SE corner of the lake.  Also saw lots of male and female Goldfinches, male and female Cardinals, female and bald male Red-winged Blackbirds, etc.

Lake Aquitaine:  SE corner of Glen Erin Dr./Aquitaine Ave., behind the community centre.

Hey Birdbrain!!

We are at home and there are tons of Am goldfinches about..

They seem to like our flowers out front of the house, they are in there all of the time. (Ignoring the feeders)

We also have had Cedar Waxwings in our tree behind the house all summer long.

Yesterday a waxwing was fly catching in the middle of our big tree.

We had a Downy woodpecker at the feeder yesterday.. Cool

Napper:) still on Vacation

Hi Napper.  Yes, I'm amazed at the number of Goldfinches around lately!  What sort of flowers do you have at the front of your house?

I saw the 4 Cedar Waxwings again this afternoon at Lake A. in the same tree!  Can always hear them first before seeing them!

Hey Birdbrain!!

My wife informed me that the the flowers or remnants of the the flowers are Heather.

The Goldfinches really like it.
