This afternoon the first Pine Siskin in two years showed up at my
feeder. Feisty little fellow! The reason I saw him was that he was the
only one on the thistle feeder that did not fly away when I walked past the
window. (All the Goldfinches scattered frantically.)
Yesterday morning my driveway birds included Chipping Sparrows,
White-crowned Sparrow, Towhee, Purple Finch (2), and Blue-headed Vireo.
Red-breasted Nuthatches have been here all month.
At the Easton WWTP yesterday the "new-arrival" ducks included Ruddies
(90), Greater Scaup (5) and Bufflehead (1). Along the trail to the river
the highlights were G-C and R-C Kinglets, Swamp Sparrow, Field Sparrow,
Brown Thrasher and Marsh Wren (2).
