Had a large flock of siskins or redpolls fly off from a tree in my yard this am in Yonkers. they called a little but not the typical siskin call so not 100% sure which they were. Looking to be a big finch winter. Also, while fishing in Verplanck I had five flocks of brant going south low over the river at about 10 minute intervals. Wonder if they were fresh from Canada:-) Both firsts of the season for me. Andrew Andrew v. F.
