Hi All,
With light snow falling today and the temperature dropping to below freezing 
the bird numbers increased around the feeders. There were 34 Pine Siskins, a 
high count for us this year. I'm not sure I want the 350 - 400 that David 
Raines and Ed and Mary Talbott are getting.
Other interesting visitors were a Brown Thrasher, 4 Purple Finches, 3 Eastern 
Towhees and a pair of Red-bellied Woodpeckers.

Following is the complete list.
