I've had a single female pine siskin at my feeder for the last week in Germantown Ohio (SW Ohio). I only get them occasionally in the winter, so it was a real surprise when she showed up. I'm guessing she'll be moving on after this front moves through this weekend.

Every day we are the hosts of at least six siskins. To add to Dave's thrushes at the nature center, near the parking lot, was a Hermits around noon on Friday.

I have only observed this much feeding activity from siskins in our area in winter and early spring. In the area around the Rocky River Nature Center there have been many migrants including wood and Swainson's thrushes, scarlet tanager, rose-breasted grosbeaks, hooded and black throated green warblers, red-eyed and warbling vireos.
