Everything about the 2022 Evening Grosbeak Irruption is remarkably similar to the 2020 event. From the predictions of the
Winter Finch Forecast, the date of first sighting (10/28/2020 vs 10/27/2022), to the arriving small group not visiting the feeders followed by a couple dozen raiding the sunflower platform a day later. Even the fact that my initial observation both years occurred while I was splitting firewood and heard them vocalizing as they landed in a nearby tree.
I'm currently getting 30-50 of the boldly marked finches around and above the yard almost from first light until sunset.
A couple people asked me why I hadn't posted in a while. Truth is that there weren't many inspiring observations this summer.
The summer could be defined by two words...
Eagles
and Lightning
Missed your postings--Great pics of lightning, eagle picking the fish out of the water, and that very bold mink with the eagle a few feet away
ReplyDeleteNice sets Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks. It looked like the mink and the eagle had reached an understanding.
