I have been compiling the winter 2008-2009 season report for The
Kentucky Warbler. Being as this was one of the best winters in quite a
few years for Pine Siskins, I wanted to try to list all of the counties
in which siskins were reported. So far, I have reports of siskins from
13 CBCs published in the Feb 2009 issue of The Warbler, plus the reports
shown below.
 
If you could provide me with the county of your observation(s) and a
peak count with date of the peak count, I would appreciate it. These
should be from Dec 2008 or Jan/Feb 2009. I'll also take March/April 2009
reports if from a county other than those listed below (in italics)
 
Here's what I have already gleaned from BIRDKY (some of you should
recognize your initials with the reports) ... I'm interested in anything
else.
 
Peak counts: 

 

at least 50 e. of Bernstadt, Laurel, 10 December (RD); 

47 at Cub Run, Hart, 17 December (JKt, fide SK); 

25-30 in Trigg 18 December (KB); 

at least 110 in the Red River Gorge, Wolfe, 21 January (BP); 

ca. 50 at the Lexington Cemetery 6-7 February (m. ob.); 

3 flocks of 50-75 in the Red River Gorge, Powell/Wolfe, 13 February
(BP); 

up to 34 at Berea, Madison, 7 January (PH); 

ca. 60 at Morehead 15 January (SF); 

ca. 150 at South Williamson, Pike, during mid-January with 200-300 there
during the last week of January (JCr); 

80 se. of Morehead during last week of January (SF); 

up to 110 at Mt. Zion, Pulaski, 12 January with ca. 200 there 30 January
(RD); 

"hundreds" near Big Gimlet, Elliott, around 1 February  with 100+ still
there 7 February (EM); 

ca. 24 at Panorama Shores, Calloway, during early February (KCo); 

ca. 125 at Natural Bridge SRP, Powell, 8 February (AN);

30 at St. Anne's Convent, Melbourne, Campbell, 8 February (FR et al.);

at least 50 near Yahoo Falls, McCreary, 10 February (RD); and 

42 at Cumberland Falls SRP McCreary, 12 February (RD). 

 

Other reports of smaller numbers at other locations, mostly in
additional counties:

Fayette (JBa),
