Yes! All fingers crossed for that evening grosbeak too. If only it wasn’t dark
when I left and when I return home. Hopefully luck for siskins and purples
Saturday and Sunday.

I just saw two pine siskin on my hanging platform feeder this morning. I’m
in central Henrico. Firsts this year. My feeders have been slow since
mid-summer, too. Looked like they were eating the safflower out of a black
oil/safflower mix.

I had around 15 house finches the other day and about 20 goldfinches today
which I carefully checked to make sure I didn’t have purples or siskins. No
luck! But have a few red-breasted nuthatches and my first returning fox
sparrow showed up today. Still keeping my fingers crossed!

Send some up to Glen Allen because I’m still waiting for mine! I did just
see my FOS White-throated Sparrow a few minutes ago. Business at my feeders
has been slow for all species this fall. ☹️

So we thought the large number of Purple Finch at our feeders might portend
a winter with lots of other “seldom-seems”!!
And today so far 5 Pine Siskin have joined their kindred American Goldfinch
out back to feed.
Should be a good season.
Keep your eyes and ears open!
Good birding,
