A very vocal flock of Pine Siskins was singing up  storm at the Holden Arboretum in Lake County late Thursday afternoon .  They could be seen and heard between the visitor center and the enclosed shelter.  There are also Goldfinches and House Finches nearby, so listen for the characteristic Siskin "zzzzip!"  I have never heard so much Siskin song! They were feeding in the hybrid elms.

Also at Holden: Yellow Warbler, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Brown Thrasher, and Warbler Vireo.
