[quote:Mother Mary:MV8xMzMxMzkwXzIxODczNzc3X0Q0OTczRkU0] [quote:Hickory] Morning Mary. :hf: Maybe they have started moving into this area. It happens. Dark Eyed Junco's used to be in my area only in the winter. Now they breed here. Started a few years ago. Birds and animal habits can and do change. Morning Hickory! :hf: Yes, this could be true! I just thought it was odd that they have never come East beyond the Mississippi River. Maybe we are the new Arctic! Could be.....Or maybe they where kidnapped by those bad ass Canada Geese. :chuckle: [/quote] :lol: Yes, there were HUNDREDS of Canadian Geese there too!! I wonder if we can find the head Goose and arrest them? Hmmmmm [/quote]

Another odd bird mystery...they are not dead or anything, but they reminded me of the bees being 20 miles off course. Why are all these animals "off course"? They have been doing this bird count for over 100 years (This year was the 111st time they did it.) and they had never seen these geese here!
"However, in the southeast reaches of the count area, a group of three birders spotted three greater white-fronted geese, mixed among a couple of hundred Canada geese.
“That’s pretty rare,” Hanneman said. “They are an Arctic breeder, and they are very common out West, but they typically don’t get much farther east than the Mississippi.”
Hanneman said he’s confident that the identification was correct.
“It’s the first I’ve heard of them on one of (the Ashtabula County) counts,” Hanneman said."
