A number of birders went to Cylburn this morning. Unfortunately, the 
great numbers of Blackpolls and Magnolia Warblers were way down today. 
The Bay-breasted Warblers were not to be found. A singing Hooded 
Warbler was new though.

While some of the more intrepid folks went down the stump-dump trail, 
I saw what seemed to be a Pine Siskin in the spruces by the stump-dump 
road (across from the parking area). My look was brief and from the 
bottom only. I was hesitant to believe my eyes at this season. But 
later, when the dump-trekkers rejoined me, Pete Webb called out that 
he heard a Pine Siskin flying overhead from the direction where I had 
seen it about a half-hour earlier..
