Hi All, This morning, just after sunrise, the Purple Finches and Pine Siskins began arriving at the nyger (thistle) platform feeder in the yard. Within a few minutes the Purple Finches totaled 22 and the Pine Siskins 5. A couple of Field Sparrows were feeding on the ground with one adult and one immature White-crowned Sparrow, 5 White-throated Sparrows, 3 Song Sparrows, a couple of male towhees and a couple of juncos.
