Usually I see only one goldfinch, but when it's really cold, I've had seven
feeding at my thistle feeder at one time. For example, last Saturday. Also had
22 house finches and 11 mourning doves on that day. Had a y-b sapsucker and a
hairy wp for the first time on Saturday. The red-breasted nuthatch comes fairly
regularly to feed on the suet. Had a towhee two weeks ago.
Numbers seem fairly normal to me, except that I no longer have any house
sparrows.

I seem to have only about 5% of the gold finches I normally have at my
feeders.lso Juncos, white throated sparrow, purple finch, brown creeper, and
yellow belly sap sucker numbers are down or missing altogether. Has anyone else
noted this trend this winter?
