We had at least 14 pine siskins at this morning's Feeder Watch at Dawes, possibly more. (They moved around continually, making an accurate count difficult. 14 is conservative.) I don't remember seeing this many this early in the winter since I moved to Licking Co. 13 years ago. Some years I don't see any! We had 17 species this morning: mourning dove - 2 red-bellied woodpecker - 1 downy woodpecker - 1 blue jay - 4 Carolina chickadee - 3 tufted titmouse - 4 white-breasted nuthatch - 2 eastern towhee - 1 song sparrow - 1 white-throated sparrow - 3 white-crowned sparrow - 4 dark-eyed junco - 6 northern cardinal - 3 house finch - 18 pine siskin - 14 (possibly more! These guys are hyper.) American goldfinch - 8 house sparrow - 5 Also seen, but not at the feeders: American crow American robin Margaret Bowman Licking Co., OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
