[Mnbird] Fwd: Goldfinches

[Jim Ryan]

See message sent to me below. Apparently AMGOs and MODOs are around in some
spots. Perhaps not in their usual places due to the early cold? Local seed
crops? Good questions!

Jim....... We had close to a hundred men, women and children spend time
either at their feeders or in the hills on December 20th for the Ney CBC:
 94 GF's; almost the same number of mourning doves.  Since then GF's have
really dropped off, but we have 28 - 32 doves coming intermittently to our
ground feeders each day.  That's in* Tyrone Township, LeSueur County*.

I did 4 CBCs this year and Goldfinches were hard to come by in the areas I
surveyed (Bloomington, Red Wing, Pine & Wright Counties) We did find more
Siskins up north this year.

I found a good number (12) of Mourning Doves in Wright County. Otherwise,
they seemed less widespread than in previous years.
