The white-throated sparrows continue here (32 on our last count) but juncoes
are always in small numbers ( 2 - 6). Pine Siskin numbers here are less, but
today 5 - 7 feisty birds. Three Purple Finch showed up yesterday - 2 males
and a female. We have been without red- breasted nuthatches for weeks until
one showed up today.
Zugenruhe - my new word to express the migratory bird's sense at this time of
year!

Well, I know where the Pine Siskins have been - at my house! And they are
still here though in smaller numbers. This week I ran out of thistle seed
and had to buy more. Sadly no WT Sparrows.

A dozen pine siskins and a half dozen white throated sparrows finally coming
to our feeders. Where have they been all winter? Lots of Juncoes this year,
but NONE of the other two.
