Michelle and I, my Dad Ed Jr., and our dog Chazzy enjoyed a winter hike today 
at Caney Island Branch in Buchanan County, Virginia.  We found Winter Wrens, 
Pileated Woodpeckers, and a Hairy Woodpecker on the hike.  After the hike, I 
tried to get a count on the number of Siskins at my Dad's feeders - my best 
count was 470 Siskins.  He said they are going through 12 pounds of sunflower 
seed each day and the Siskins consumed over 200 pounds in January alone.  For 
those interested, here is a link to our hike pictures and pictures of the 
Siskins:
