Has any one else had a marked increase in the number of juncos this winter? I hadn't realized how many were around until this past storm when they were everywhere, including trying to emulate the gold finches and siskins on the platform-less hanging feeders (they were literally falling off). -- Tricia Reid Mansfield Center reidtri@gmail.com

Yes I had a ton of juncos this winter. All winter. More than in past seasons and eating off of every feeder I have in addition to ground feeding Alas no redpolls though despite many prayerful requests to the redpoll gods.

>From Joanne Luppi In 56 years of feeding birds here in Portland, I have never had as many juncos as this winter, nor as many house finches. However, bluejays have been just the opposite--only 2, sometimes 3 some mornings, and some days none at all! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mona Cavallero" <mcavallero1@comcast.net> To: "Tricia Reid" <reidtri@gmail.com> Cc: ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org Sent: Sunday, March 10, 2013 12:38:51 PM Subject: Re: [CT Birds] Juncos Yes I had a ton of juncos this winter.
