There are large numbers of pine siskins plus a few house sparrows and chipping sparrows along with goldfinches visiting the feeder. I have not seen a purple finch for a couple of days or even a chickadee for that matter. The sparrows and siskins dump plenty of seeds on the ground. Eventually there is so much that my wife gathers up the seeds, sifts them, and deposits them back in the feeder!
I went to Shoal Lake yesterday but did not see anything interesting. There were a few red wing blackbirds and some tree swallows but nothing new. On the way home we saw a couple of mourning doves by the side of the road.
