I live in west Burien at a large condo complex on the east edge of
Seahurst Park, and our normal large flock (up to 300 birds) of
wintering Pine Siskins has not shown up yet. We have small numbers of
House Finches and a fair number of Black-capped chickadees hanging around
the feeders, but Varied Thrushes just passed through, not staying, and
there are only 2-3 Juncoes here, plus the Fox Sparrows didn't stay either.
Cheers,
