There are many pine siskins visiting the feeder. Along with house sparrows they seem to love to scratch the sunflowers seeds out of the feeder and onto the ground where they like to eat them. However, they also keep coming back to the feeder for more. In the winter time this practice ends up in having layers of sunflower seeds under the snow. After every snow seeds are covered and more seeds are deposited on the new snow!
Yesterday I saw three northern flickers on the roof of a shed. Perhaps one was a young bird and the other two were the parents. I saw another purple finch at the feeder and took a couple of photos but I do not know how good they are as yet. There are still no sign of hummingbirds.
