Here in Central New York to my little feeders I have birds returning that I haven't seen in years. Grosbeaks, Flickers, and Blue Birds most specifically. In the spring we have had an increasing supply of Orioles. My home is on the Erie Canal and just south of the Barge Canal so Bald Eagles as increasingly common, usually flying west to the big Montezuma bird sanctuary. As I type this at 1:41 we are pretty clear of birds except for one Red Bellied Woodpecker. When the weather warms my Maples will be riddled by Pileated Woodpeckers.
