Our neighbors two doors down have an improbably healthy (for around 
here) hemlock that is loaded with cones this season.  Every time 
I walk down to the lake I check this tree for finches.  This morning 
I FINALLY saw a PINE SISKIN feeding in the top of the tree with 
7 or 8 goldfinches.  The flock flew off in the direction of the lake, 
probably going to the house on the lake path with the in-ground pool 
and the many feeders in the backyard (a favorite with the local
goldfinches and House Finches), although I wasn't able to relocate 
the siskin there a few minutes later.  

A yard/lake/county/year bird for me!
