One winter they took over at my house, and I was going through 40# of black oil in a week! This year, however, they have been Spartan at home. They hung out for a week or two and now seem to have moved on. Better for my wallet, but I do enjoy seeing them.Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-21981815787248926112010-01-11T16:16:42.187-05:002010-01-11T16:16:42.187-05:00Ellen,

Even though we seldom are graced with them, when they do come they make their presence known in a big way. That winter we fed over 350 lbs. of black oil sunflower seeds to the ravenous hoard!<br />Treebeard...SwampThings hubbyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-54036354302510264072009-12-31T10:06:24.758-05:002009-12-31T10:06:24.758-05:00Well, thanks, All, for your praises! :)
Lindsey ...Well, thanks, All, for your praises! :)<br /><br />Lindsey - are you Jackie's friend, with whom she goes birding? We've got plenty of grosbeaks here, so come on up! If you plan a trip to the VIC, keep in mind we are closed Sundays and Mondays. The birds may still be around in the woods, and hanging out in the trees around the building, but we won't have our feeders out.Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-11034580764738263842009-12-31T05:39:19.165-05:002009-12-31T05:39:19.165-05:00I'm so jealous!

I live in the Glens Falls area and don't see them and now that I've been heavily birding this past year, I've been desiring to. Looks like I'm going to have to take a trip north on one of my next days off! :)Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07386243323076528579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-758103820428631962009-12-30T14:47:55.466-05:002009-12-30T14:47:55.466-05:00I'll trade you 10 White Breasted Nuthatches fo...I'll trade you 10 White Breasted Nuthatches for one evening grosbeaks! I have never ever seen an evening grosbeak and the nuthatch lives in my back yard year round. Location, location, location.

Great, in fact. And that nuthatch looks so dear! I've never seen the white-breasted ones down here in Saratoga Springs.<br /><br />It's hard to believe that almost a full year has passed since we met through each others' blogs. I am so glad to have met you and to have shared adventures together, both through our blogs and also tramping and paddling together. Here's to another year of nature adventures! Happy New Year!Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.com
