I had a single PINE SISKIN at my feeders at my hose in North Perry, Lake
County today.  It was my first of the spring.  The feeders have been pretty
good lately.  I currently have a minimum of 11 ORCHARD ORIOLES coming,
4 -adult males, 4 -1st year males and 3 females.  The variation in first
year males is pretty interesting.  There is a lot of variation.  That is the
absolute minimum, there may be more.  I don't even want to guess at
Baltimore orioles.  There must be over 20.  I also have at least 2
red-headed woodpeckers, a second year male and an adult male.  There are
also at least 10+ rose-breasted grosbeaks and at least 4 purple finch.  What
is missing are sparrows.  I have had good numbers of white-throats and song
sparrows, but thus far only single white-crowned and Lincoln's sparrows.
Typically I usually have decent numbers of both.

Warblers were pretty low again today with only a handful seen.  I also had a
single osprey.  There are still a few red-breasted mergansers and common
loons on the lake.
