Don't remember too many reports of siskins on tn-bird this year; are others seeing them? Rob Peeples Germantown, TN A single siskin came to the thistle feeder on my deck in the snowy, cold northwest corner of Shelby County this morning. A little earlier, a first of season purple finch came to drink at the heated birdbath.
