Besides siskins, I now have a male Purple Finch at my feeder. We've been 
away for four days and returned to find all of the feeders just about 
empty. Just waiting for redpolls now <s> and going to stock up on seed 
before I leave for AZ and CA (tomorrow).
The YB Sapsucker has returned and is at the suet feeder and a Cooper's Hawk 
has been paying visits. Guess I'll be finding the tell-tale piles of 
feathers soon.
