Heh, heh, heh .... I gotta give you guys credit. you pulled it off. How did you get all those people from all around the state to submit those MD Osprey posts about how this is an invasion year for siskins, et al. without us catching wind of it? I mean that one message about <17> siskins coming to a feeder was a riot! Barbara and I know you guys are just trying to get even with us from all the years that we had siskins and Purple Finches when no one else did. We have a flock of over 25 goldfinches coming regularly to our feeders ... so we know if siskins were in the area ... we'd have seen them. (Heck, we even had a siskin on July 4th one summer--after a non-invasion year, to boot). Very clever. OK, you got us ... you can stop now.
