The siskins have arrived at my feeding station today with a maximum of 19 inds. present. They fed on the nyger seed and then ate oil sunflower seeds out of the feeders and off of the ground.

In the past they have stayed in my yard for a few hours and then moved on, but these birds were here all day.

Bring on the redpolls and red crossbills.
