This morning I had a rare visitor to my sunflower seed feeder in west Knox 
County, TN: a pine warbler (had one coming regularly a few years ago but don't 
think I've seen one in the yard since).  In addition to my wire thistle feeder 
I had hung two thistle socks when Pine Siskins started showing up.  This 
afternoon all three were covered with siskins and a few goldfinches and more 
siskins were under the feeder on the ground.  I counted 27+ Pine Siskins.  
 
Birded the Cove at Concord Park from 10:45 a.m. to 12:10 pm (would have started 
sooner but had a hard time tearing myself away from the feeders).  Bird of the 
Day was a male Rusty Blackbird feeding on the ground with a large flock of 
robins.  Saw my first Brown Creeper of the year (and the only one I've seen 
since October when I saw one at home).  It was raining on and off and then just 
ON so I cut my walk short but most of the birds were seen actively feeding in 
the rain.
