Re: [Maine-birds] Busy feeders in South Portland

The feeders here and at school were crazy busy, too, and I too saw a shadow that may have been a hawk silhouette.  Certainly the finches took it for one.  At school, we had a flock of at least 15 very puffed-up goldfinches, several house finches, a pair of cardinals, a nuthatch, a downy woodpecker, and three mourning doves.  All this while the kids took a spelling test.

                WOW!!    Lots of action all morning  as the snow fell - 13 No. Cardinals by the feeders at one time along with many Juncos, a few Jays , and a couple Tree Sparrows . 

                Everyone once in a while my immature Cooper's Hawk made a pass at the feeder occupants - then perched hidden in the evergreens - so far in my observation of the hawk's activity today it is zero for 6 !!  It could have been successful when I was not watching .  A couple of days ago I saw it nail a Blue Jay and enjoyed its meal under a pine tree.   Hey, it has to eat too!  Food chain in action!

                Try to find a way to enjoy the snow and cold - looks like we are in for a good old fashion winter!!
