Well after a valiant, but unsuccessful attempt sparrow-hunting at Mentor 
marsh, as well as a couple hours searching in vein for a certain 6 inch owl 
through endless vine tangles at Headlands, I was all the more elated to find 
a new yard bird at the feeder here in Boardman when I got home.

A Pine Siskin!

As I said, this is the first I have ever encountered in the yard, and I've 
put seed out for over a decade.  This certainly seems to be shaping up to be 
a birding winter to be remembered.

till next time,
John G Petruzzi
