I had very little time for birding today after someone decided to run their car 
through about 60 feet of pasture fence, but did have some luck with a species 
for which I've been looking. 
Had  a flock of 21 Pine Siskins fly over the road and then had 11 more at 
feeders in the yard. They bullied the larger House Finches away and gorged 
themselves, taking up every feeding perch on one feeder and the whole platform 
on the other later.  Also had 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches at a another feeder. 
Not that my hearing is the best but it was a little difficult to hear anything 
with 2 gregarious Red-headed Woodpeckers in the woods next to the feeders most 
of the day.
