We never got any White-throated Sparrows this year. Did get a couple of
White-Crowned. We have a loyal population of Pine Siskins due to the
thistle feeder I put up. They started hear when there was just sunflower
seed but they really seem to love thistle seed.
A moment ago I thought I heard an Eastern Meadowlark singing from our
front "yard." And I'm finally consistently hearing Bobolinks from the
adjacent field.
On a picnic with my dad at Filmore Glen I enjoyed observing the Barn
Swallows and their nests inside the First Aid and Lifeguards building.

Well better late than never I guess. I had a Pine Siskin, finally. There may
be two of them, but I only saw one. One was on the feeder and I thought I
heard another vocalizing not far away. The first time I ever had one in my
yard was at this time of year. My White Crown Sparrows, 4, are still here.
Another one of my resident birds has shown up, a Willow Flycatcher. I never
saw him, but heard him fitz-bew. I also am hearing the Yellow Warbler and
Yellowthroat. It was a great morning to be out. The traffic on rt. 20 is
less, thus it's quieter, and I can hear more birds. The Warbling Vireo has
been singing all day so far. I can hear him on the sunporch.
