Birdchick Blog: Winter Finches

Winter Finches

Here's a video from Mr. Neil's feeders yesterday. You can see goldfinches in winter plumage, common redpolls, and pine siskins. The most fun is the sound of the hundreds of finches in the trees waiting to come down to the feeders. I love the up slurred, "shreeeee" of the siskins:

Cant' watch the video because it's "private".

ARG!

I don't know why YouTube does that. When I upload videos, I always select "Public." I even have the uploader set to default on "Public" but half the time it publishes "Private."

Should be fixed now. If not, try doing a hard refresh.

Great video! The background sound of the birds adds a nice touch.

Jayrod,

Mr. Neil is the guy that I keep bees with. I just added a hyperlink to his website.

Great video. Did see an article in the star Tribune paper edition on Neil it was pretty good, however they did barely touch on his beekeeping in the paper article.
