I live in the suburbs in Germantown TN and I have yet to see one pine siskin at 
my feeder this year!   I have averaged about 6 goldfinches and sometimes up to 
10 house finches at my feeders at one time,  but no pine siskins.  I have also 
not had any nuthatches or brown creepers.  What is up with that.  Every year I 
get those birds and love to see them.  The titmouses and and the chickadees are 
averaging the same, usually a pair of each.  I know that many of you are seeing 
plenty of pine siskins but what about the nuthatches and the brown creepers?  I 
may have seen a nuthatch in Nov. but can't recall seeing one in 2009.  Has 
anyone in West Tenn. noticed a decline?
