Greetings, and Happy Thanksgiving! I currently have 3-5 Pine Siskins visiting my Sunflower feeder here in La Rue (Marion County). They also have been hitting my Thistle feeder as well, but mostly the sunflower. I think they arrived last nite because I went out to fill the feeder last night, and one of the Siskins didn't move from the feeder until I put my hand on the tube. :-O today they are more active. hoping for Redpolls! :-D Also have had Carolina Wrens, Goldfinches, Blue Jays, WB Nuthatches, and Downy, Hairy, and Red-bellied Woodpeckers fightign the House Sparrows for feeder time. I'm keeping a lookout for Short-eared Owls at Big Island...I'm expecting them sometime around Thanksgiving...or the week after. As long as the winds are calm, we should have some good showings...I never seem to see them here when the winds are more than 5-10 mph. Happy Birding, and God Bless!
