On Saturday, June 26, I had a single Pine Siskins present at my home in Hampton (Carter Co.), TN. The siskin was at the thistle feeders with several American Goldfinches. I had almost concluded that the siskins had finally departed after not seeing any for several days. So, seeing this siskin was a nice bonus. At the same time, a Brown Thrasher was present in the Blue Spruce where the thistle feeders hang. I don't think the thrasher was interested in thistle, just all the commotion. The thrasher is probably one of a pair that is raising some fledglings along the wooded edge of the yard.
