Subject: [MDBirding] 16 pine siskins/zero Xs Smallwood A.M.


I had 16 pine siskin at the feeding station in my back yard just outside the window--Glen Arm, Balt.Co. All there at the same time. Hung around in numbers for an hour or so. Nice to have them back, so many of them.

Chesapeake Audubon went this morning to Fort Smallwood. The fog might have affected the ww crosses: nothing from 9-11:30. I don't think the other birders there at that time found anything either. Couple of brown creepers, a cooper's hawk, hooded mergs, scaup, fox sparrow. No snow bunting, no redpoll, no female tufted duck, no red-headed woodpecker.
