Birders,
     Today we had the first Purple Finch at our feeder, earlier I think
than any year we remember.  Just one male so far.  For the last two weeks
we have had little flocks of Pine Siskins.  The earlier arrival I guess is
because of their preferred food in the north, perhaps also the weather
systems.  Maybe this will be a year for Evening Grosbeaks to show up.  It
has been a long time.  Good birding to all.
