We live along the flight path that a good number of gulls take
from their roost to their feeding grounds. Mostly Ring-billeds
but on occassion, I've found a joker or two in the flocks. This
morning (Thurs, 8 Jan) there was a first-winter HERRING GULL
sticking out like a sore thumb in a flock of about 120 Ring-billeds.
Uncommon species in Knox Co but this has been a good year for
them in the area.
All winter I had been getting by with 7 PINE SISKINs that were
making regular feeder visits. Yesterday morning (Wed, 7 Jan)
25 blew in (perhaps literally given the high winds). Similar
numbers were back this morning. We are also getting fairly
regular visits by a good number of PURPLE FINCHes.
