[TN-Bird] Siskin and Purple Finch Records in Morristown

Western part of Morristown
Hamblen County
Sunday, February 17, 2008
 
While counting birds for Feeder Watch as well as Backyard Bird Count, I had
a couple of records - at least for me.
 
I counted 6 Pine Siskins - I've always been happy to see one or two during
the entire winter
 
I also had 4 Purple Finches - 1 male and 3 females - maybe one per winter is
the most I've ever seen at my feeders in the past 
 
In addition, I had 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch  - have had one visiting me
feeders all winter
 
And then I counted all my winter regulars, 2 Downeys, 1 White-breasted
Nuthatch, 35 Gold Finch, 12 House Finch, Red-bellied Woodpecker, 8
Cardinals, 1 Song Sparrow and 2 White-throated Sparrows, 6 Juncos, 2
Carolina Wrens, 3 Carolina Chickadees, 2 Titmice, 2 Blue Jays, 2 Crows, 5
Starlings, 9 Mourning Doves, 3 Robins and 1 Mockingbird.
