I know it?s not a contest. But I was so happy when this week?s FeederWatch count yielded the greatest diversity in the six seasons I have been counting.
All fifteen of my regulars appeared, plus one occasional visitor to tie my personal best. Then, as I was scanning the swirling flock of Goldfinches in an futile attempt to count them, I realized that one was different. I hadn?t seen any Pine Siskins in quite some time. I happily added this one to my count. (Of course, his - or her - twenty pals immediately appeared. Time to increase the seed budget.)
Not bad for a 10?x10? townhouse patio area!
