Yesterday [October 4], Pine Siskins were reported for the first time
this fall at 4 locations in Middlesex and Oxford Counties with 35 birds
at Beachville, 15 at Ingersoll and singles at Harrietsville and London.
Early this afternoon [October 5] 75 birds swarmed the cone-laden White
Spruce at our place for only a few minutes before they moved on.
In his Winter Finch forecast Ron Pittaway suggested that we're likely
only to get a small influx this fall. Hopefully, though, some of the
birds moving through now will linger and brighten up our feeders this
winter.
