Greetings,

Today while scanning the feeders at the house, I noticed 3 PINE SISKINS feeding in the tray along side 3 PURPLE FINCHES. These siskins are the first for me on the year, and the first for me this winter at my feeders. My last detection of siskins occured in mid October at the nearby Churchtown Reservoir. Seeing them today at my feeder was great because so many have been observed in the neighboring areas by others at their feeders; it feels nice to share in with what they have been enjoying.

Aside from the 3 siskins, a total of 5 Purple Finches were detected (4F/1M), as well as my first of year Song Sparrow and Carolina Wren. It will be interesting to see if the siskins stay around tomorrow as they were only detected once today. We will see!

Bird on!
