I am along Buffalo Bayou in Houston. There is a massive Waxwing flock moving widely along the bayou. Had 300 in my hackberry and ash tree at one time. My Goldfinch numbers are down 50% from last year which was a high year for me and now it is closer to what it was the year before. I have the usual experience here in sapsuckers with 2 or 3 along this portion of the bayou. But no Siskins, RB Nuthatches or Creepers, Winter Wrens or Golden-crowned Kinglets. Must be good food up north?
