Title: Cedar Waxwings
Post by: Napper on May 26, 2007, 03:15:57 PM

At 3:00 pm today

Cedar Waxwing appeared, my first of season.

can't miss that crest. and the call..

My feeder is going full tilt, Black oil seeds are disappearing at a remarkable rate.

Niger feeder is attracting fewer Goldfinches...


 I can hear one bird call I cannot identify I am going to try to record it later..  quik 4 note call, three high pitch and one lower note

reminds me of Beethoven's fifth but speeded up.  Could be a shortened song sparrow call. I dunno    

Napper :D

Title: Goldfinches

Hi Napper, Not surprised to hear you're getting fewer goldfinches in Milton - they're all in Brampton at my niger feeder, fighting over it with a couple of house finches, one chickadee and one house sparrow. I've been a way a week in Florida so they're happy to see a full feeder. Report on Florida under Birding areas.
