Hi All,

 

Had our first White-throated sparrows yesterday here.  I suspect that the
Juncos are not too far behind.  Our resident Cooper's hawk continues to
wreak havoc amongst the passerine population.  

 

The Winter Finch forecast report from Ontario for 2009-10 indicated that we
would have hardly any irruptions this year.  I hope not, as I really enjoyed
the hundreds of Pine Siskins we had last year.  They hung around our thistle
feeders 'till May!

 

So I promise to behave myself on the listserv this go-round.  No
controversial topics or opinions, just birds, birds and more birds.
Seriously.  Huh? What's that?  I see you chuckling over there in the corner.
no really.
