**Dave Miller has an AMERICAN ROBIN [Merle d'Amérique] among his
patrons at his Salisbury feeder yard. The bird is coming to peanut
butter offerings, suet, and seeds. It never fails to amaze me the
number of species that will go to peanut butter.
**Jean Renton reports PURPLE FINCH [Roselin pourpré] arrived at their
Stilesville feeder yard on Friday. Purple Finch sure have moved into
the area the past week. I had the first arrive as well on Friday at
our Moncton feeder yard, with three all female or juvenile males. We
regularly get HOUSE FINCH [Roselin familier] as well, and one has to
look carefully to distinguish the two sometimes, especially the
females.
**Elaine Gallant is getting a nice selection of patrons to her Parlee
Beach feeder yard, including two regular WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCHES
[Sittelle à poitrine blanche], one male RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER [Pic à
ventre roux], and the last two days a flock of 50+ PINE SISKINS
[Tarin
des pins] with Redpolls [Sizerin] blended in with them. The Pine
Siskins and Redpolls have surely found bird feeder yards of great
interest in the past week.
**Peggy Bohus had a busy yard on Friday, with weather on the way. She
got
some nice photos of a male and female HAIRY WOODPECKER [Pic chevelu]
together, Redpoll and Pine Siskin together, and some young birders.
Peggy comments the Redpolls and Pine Siskins seem to get into a bit
of
a turf war.
