Blackcaps in Germany have been studied, and two distinct populations have
evolved, the one who feed on feeders and the one who keep feeding from
fruits/berries. They don't seem to interbreed and have now distinct migration
route and consequently different wing shapes. More details on this link

More food on our feeders, anyone?

Subject: [birders] Cooper's hawk
From: "Sharlan Douglas" <sdouglas(AT)douglasgroup.biz>

I wouldn't even call myself a birder, but I love to lurk on this board. 
We spotted this bird in our backyard in Royal Oak.  Is it a Cooper's Hawk?
 If not, what?

Thanks!

Subject: [birders] Hamburg winter yard birds
From: "Mag Tait" <mtait(AT)umich.edu>

The Red-Breasted Nuthatch is a regular at my feeders and I saw a Carolina
Wren for the first time in awhile today.
Birds of the day were a flock of 8 beautiful turkeys, right up by the
house under the feeders and eating the corn scattered along the woods's
edge.
It has been years since I have seen them in the yard, so was a real treat.
