Re: [Maine-birds] Junco, Robins, Cardinals, Blue Jays, and lots of Goldfinch, House Finch, and many different Sparrows - Unity Rd Benton/Sebasticook

I think ebird is either very conservative or only pays attention to the elite birders.  The Merlin ID search will not even allow birds like Northern Mockingbird, White Throated or Junco to come up as an option for the last few weeks.  Correction: That changed today.  I had a White Throated Sparrow a few weeks ago.  I have at least one Slate Colored Junco or Black Eyed Junco or what ever they call it today.  It has been here for the last 3 days.  The robins arrived in mass Thursday.  I wonder what they are feeding on with no worms available.  We have at least 8 inches of snow.  It sounds like freezing rain now with temp 25F.  Three feeders have been busy all day.

Likely the same Fox and Chipping Sparrow I reported and photographed on Jan 30 (that list STILL not confirmed by eBird: https://ebird.org/checklist/S160234008 ) are back today, along with 4 White-throateds.  A ton of bird activity in the cleared area under the feeder.
