I took some pics of them, too, a while ago on the finch feeder. :) How do I e-mail them to Kip?

The pine siskins are eating me out of house and home. We have a flock of about 50 in our yard. That means we’re not seeing much else at the feeders.

They’re killing the (pricey!) thistle!

I know! Its expensive! I just saw a hairy woodpecker at the platform feeder eating suet, tufted titmouse on yankee flipper and american goldfinches on finch feeder!

Here in Pennsylvania I also have a lot of pine siskins visiting my feeders. This is the first year that I have had the pine siskins. I hung extra nijer feeders to accomodate them. I purchased a mix of nijer & chipped sunflowers and they seem to prefer the mix.

Just found out about your fantastic webcam, it was linked from a birding site in Belgium (where I live). Really fun to discover the common American garden birds from Europe! And big fun to be able to control the camera! Thanks a lot for this wonderful service. Today I saw a lot of pine siskins, american goldfinches, tufted titmice, carolina chickadees, and an occasional nuthatch.

Just spotted a bird I don’t know inspecting the bluebird house but was too slow to make a snapshot. Might be bluebird, he did have blue and orange, but perhaps that is too soon in the season? Also two different woodpeckers, here I have snaps but the are low quality. Both are black-and-white, but one has just a red patch on the head whereas the other has an entirely red cap over the head.
