To Those Interested,
Today was the first day I've seen Common Redpolls (CORE) at my feeders in East Corning! We had at least 5! I really can't remember the last time I had COREs at my feeders. Definitely pre-eBird! It has probably been since 1979 or 80! We've been having a lot of Pine Siskins (PISI) for at least a month now, usually 20-30 at a time. They are fun to watch. Having the COREs here today was a great Christmas present!

Ta Da! About 17 siskins on niger feeders. When they left, the resident goldfinches returned, about 18 of them. Hard to count 'em when they outnumber the perches on the feeders. The snow here (1 to2 inches) has made this a very birdy morning. We must have been very good this year, to be so rewarded.
