Hello all.
For about the last week, I've had a huge mixed flock of Gold Finches, Purple
Finches and Pine Siskins. The Gold Finches and Siskins probably number
around 200+ birds with the Purple Finches only representing 3-4 birds at a
time. Of the Purple Finches, most have been females. Only one or two males
and these have not been regular visitors.

I have seven feeders in one area. Six are filled with black oil sunflower
seeds and one is a thistle sock feeder. I also throw a huge amount of
sunflower seeds, thistle and millet on the ground.

Best,

John Champion
Coker Creek, TN
