Yesterday we had at least 25 American Robins in our native holly trees. This morning they have been crowding into the bird bath.
We also continue to have about 100 Pine Siskins come to the thistle feeders several times a day. There are a few American Goldfinches mixed in but not nearly as many as we have had in past years.
We had six juncos feeding on the ground during the days with snow on the ground.
Also on Dec. 24 and 25 and one day the next week (sorry for the late posting) we had an adult Bald Eagle on our section of the South Holston River (below Boy Island). A great Christmas gift -- this is our first sighting of the eagle here.
