Comments on bird numbers and
behavior :
(CC) "I have noticed in the last few
years that the Pileated Woodpeckers (we have both the male and female around)
and the Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers are always together. There are at leas one
or two chickadees that feed at the same feeder, same time, with the
nuthatches."
(JC) "The Common Redpoll will
challenge the finches at the feeder."
(GS) "I saw a Townsend's Solitaire
near the feeder and birdbath - seemed like t wanted to have a drink but was
wary of the starling at the feeder. On the Jan. 21st I also had a
small flock of robins - 20 or so - eating the last of the apples."
