Approximately 200 to 250 Pine Siskins just showed up at my house. At first they were feeding on the cedars but then quickly dropped to the ground in an open area and I believe were picking up thrips or snow fleas as they are also known . There seems to be a good "hatch" right now of the thrips. Nearest intersection Lake Ridge and Reach in Scugog township _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
