I have unprecedented Finches in my yard over the past few weeks: 3 female Purple Finches one day (I've never had more than one at a time) and singles on a couple of other days; flocks of Pine Siskins (10 or 11 each) on two different days, one day staying around all day and some into the next - (again, never see more than one or two if that and only briefly).

I had a female Purple Finch at the feeders today which was the first at a feeder in years. Looks like it might be a good winter for finches. There are already a good number of finches down and some reports of grosbeak and Boreal Chickadee. My friend in Maine had some Bohemian Waxwings in his yard recently so they're on the move. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
