Seems a block of suet attracted a male Scarlet Tanager and a pair of Purple Finches yesterday. I saw a Blackburnian and a Scarlet Tanager within days of each other that made my week. Wonderful week for warblers around here :-))
Woke this morning to find disasterous feathery evidence of a Tufted Titmouse in a neat little pile below the feeders. Could it be that the two Broadwings that have been scouting out my neighborhood - west of turnpike behind Ogunquit in Cape Neddick - for the past 2-3 weeks, swooped into my yard? My vista is a small 1-acre clearing close to Third Hill, 5 miles by auto to the top of Mt A. I wonder if they're nesting in the area. Last evening sometime in the 7 o'clock hour, the eight or ten Chipping Sparrows and Mo Doves feeding beneath the feeders, and the Goldfinches, Chickadees, Cardinals, Titmice, on the feeders, suddenly vanished all at once. I had clicked a photo of them as a group a minute before. Rain started maybe 30-45 minutes after that. (Had a RTHummer at his feeder at dusk as well.)
