Thanks to Steve, I made a quick stop on my way home and found five Pine
Siskin at Druid Ridge Cemetery. Two flew overhead when I was near the
maintenance yard, the other three were feeding in the hemlocks near the tall
Tunstall gravestone. Twelve Goldfinch were feeding at the bottom of the same
tree the Siskins were in.
