I also saw a Pine Siskin flock of perhaps that number yesterday afternoon, nicely murmurating into the top of a fir near my own West Seattle home. And there was a small flock of 3-5 at my birdbath, I think the day before.

A brilliantly colored Townsend's Warbler male has been gracing my feeders as well, appearing to hover beside the vertical hanging suet cake as he pecked at it-;though maybe he was just scoping it out.

Good birding,
Trileigh

Subject: [Tweeters] Pine Siskins

Just spotted a flock of little birds that turned out to be Pine Siskins. Somewhere around 50 as best as I can tell.
