Thanks for the education -- I had noticed the lack of Pine Siskins.

Hi Heather, When people mention winter finches, they are not talking about
goldfinches or house finches which remain year round, albeit in fluctuating
numbers. What is being referenced are migrants (irruptives) such as
Redpolls, Grosbeaks (Pine and Evening), Siskins, Crossbills, and Purple
Finches. You could also include Bohemian Waxwings in this context, although
strictly speaking, they are not considered finches, but do show different
dispersal patterns from year to year.
The forecast for this years irruption can be found here:

Hope this helps any confusion,

Hmmm . . . was the Christmas bird count short on finches? We've been seeing
lots of house finches and goldfinches at our feeders this winter. So far,
my daughter's record keeping for 2010 has up to five of each at a time.
Her neatest sighting for today was a brown creeper, though -- a bird I
wasn't previously familiar with. (We also saw a red fox, which was fun,
even if it is wingless!)

Let's see...
1) It's a poor "finch" winter in Wisconsin.
2) But wisbirdn is lit up with off-topic talk of coffee ... pie ... and
corn!
Just an observation ... and wishing I could observe more birds.

(Speaking of observations, it's interesting that Delavan Lake is iced-over,
but Geneva Lake is pretty much ice-free. The trend for recent Lake Geneva
area CBCs has been "tons" of Common Mergs on Delavan Lake; but this year
they've made the move to the open waters of Geneva Lake.)
