[Tweeters] Golden Crown Question

[jimullrich]

Hello Tweets:

> Golden Crown Kinglet question. Here in East Bremerton WA., we have had 3-4 Gold Crowns ever-year for past 12 years or so. Always appearing solo at either the front yard or backyard suet feeders. Luckily we have large green belt of conifers behind our house and many conifers/deciduous trees and evergreen shrubs in most yards for shelter.

> Very large population of Bushtits as well

>> Hi Jack,

>> 

>> We recently came back from a great 2-week trip to Colombia over winter break. Anticipating many future visits, we decided to focus this time mostly on Antioquia province around Medellin (Chestnut-capped Piha Reserve, Rio Claro, Antioquia Brushfinch Reserve [this one is actually not open to the public yet, we got in courtesy of our guide knowing the folks preparing the reserve], La Romera and Jardin), as well as a 2-day foray in Choco to visit Las Tangaras Reserve. It was an amazing trip, with a total of 483 species seen, of which 246 were lifers.

>> 

>> I?m currently working my way through the many thousands of photos I took while there, once done, I will post a trip report and link to photos.

>> 

>> Good luck,

>> 

>> Nagi

>> Hello tweets,

>> 

>> I know we would see so many fewer birds in our yard if we didn?t have feeders, and I think robins are about the only species that we see regularly that don?t come to feeders of one sort or another. Plenty of birds such as warblers and vireos and WesternTanagers come for water, of course, although those seem to be scarcer every year.

>> 

>> We have at least one Ruby-crowned Kinglet at our suet feeders most winters, but Golden-crowned Kinglets are very uncommon in our neighborhood, almost never appearing in our yard except occasionally at our fountain. Conifers are scattered in the area, maybe not dense enough to attract a population of Golden-crowns, although we have plenty of Chestnut-backed Chickadees.

>> 

>> So I?m asking if anyone ever sees Golden-crowns at suet or other feeders.

>> Greetings,

>> I was sitting in a school bus on the way to the Burke Museum yesterday.  The bus stopped at the intersection of NE 45th and Sandpoint way.  Right next to the parking garage for U Village.

>> 

>> I noticed a ton of bird activity in a tree right there.  Pretty sure it?s a Hawthorne, and  it was full of Robins.  There were other birds as well but they were hard to identify.  I?m assuming they were Waxwings, but that?s just a guess.

>> 

>> Wondering if the Hawthorns along the north side of the Cut are also that busy.  Will swing by later today.
