My wife and I saw 14 PINE SISKINS at once on our 4 thistle and sunflower feeders in our backyard on Saturday, October 20. This was the second-highest total for our yard in 32 years. Previous high was over 100 during the big finch year several years ago. Up to 3 PURPLE FINCHES also, plus the usual dozen or so goldfinches and house finches. 2 RED BREASTED NUTHATCHES present as well.
The high count of SISKINS yesterday Sun October 21 was down to 7 at once.
