Hi all,
 I saw my FOS Pine Siskin this morning, perched in a tulip tree along  the 
back yard, in a mixed flock of Chipping Sparrows, Song  Sparrows, juncos, and at 
least 2 Savannah Sparrows, along with Goldfinches  and House Finches, 
bluebirds, etc. I only saw one siskin, though the flock was  skittish, moving around 
the edge a lot, so there may have been more. Also a  Cooper's Hawk around the 
yard, and a Red-tailed Hawk up early, as well as lots  of TV's.
 
Yesterday afternoon I watched an adult Bald Eagle soar and fly over the  
neighboring fields and woods, from south to east. This may have been the same  
individual Bob Ringler saw at Piney Run. Also a lone gull sp. flew by about  
3:30, though it went by too fast for me to make out which species. This is of  
interest because I don't often see gulls here.
