I had 7 Pine Siskins on my thistle feeder today. I had not had any at all during the winter, and just a single individual on April 15 and a pair a couple of days after that. There were 19 Cattle Egrets at the intersection of Dean's Shop and Tuck Roads this morning. This is barely into Coffee County and within an "Egret's hop" of Little Elder Island in Woods Reservoir and Franklin County, where I believe there is a colony. A Forster's Tern was fishing off of Morris Ferry Boat dock. __________________________________________________ I have been lucky enough to find an incredibly wonderful bird. Jerry L.
