Here in SE St Louis County, I've had large flocks of Redpolls (as many as 50+) at my feeders everyday all winter since early December, but no Pine Siskins yet! The Chickadees are the first to arrive in the morning and shortly after the Redpolls dominate the feeders. I don't recall seeing so many before and for so long a duration. There are also a couple of Pine Grosbeak's that come in and mix with the Redpolls. I don't know if that is unusual or not, except for the fact that it has been several years since I've had Pine Grosbeak's at the feeders.
