Sounds like a good time. Sorry I missed it. Definitely better than working all weekend. Chuck Nicholson can confirm or deny, but unless I'm mistaken, there are NO CONFIRMED breeding records for Pine Siskin in TN. So this would certainly be a noteworthy report and one that should be followed up on if at all possible. The Tennessee Bird Records Committee wouldn't mind getting a report on this -- as with all first-breeding reports for the state.
