[cayugabirds-l] Winter Finches this morning

Hi All, Around 7 am this morning 3 EVENING GROSBEAKS came to our feeders.  A fourth one joined them about 40 minutes later followed soon thereafter by 16 PINE SISKINS.  Wish I could have stayed around to see if redpolls and crossbills would be next! Good birding, David McCartt Tubbs Hill Rd.
