With all the discussion of ill Pine Siskins lately, I have some good news. 
A flock of 500 to 600 Pine Siskins were here (Elder Mtn.) all day yesterday 
in the rain.  All appeared healthy with no signs of salmonella.  Today, the 
normal numbers (300+) returned, and all appeared to be healthy.
Hopefully they will migrate very soon.  Nyger seed is very expensive.
Today I birded Chester Frost SP in Hamilton county and saw the Cackling 
Geese, Brown-headed Nuthatches, Bald Eagle, Sharp-shinned Hawk and Cooper's 
Hawk, and about a dozen Tree Swallows.  Bonaparte's Gulls and Common Loons 
were offshore.
Blue-headed Vireo was singing in the yard at home today.
