This afternoon Peter Colen and I spotted a flock of about 18-20 Pine Siskins in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. The birds were feeding with many goldfinches on the Joe-Pye Weed, Jerusalem Artichoke and Evening Primrose at the Butterfly Meadow on Lookout Hill. I'm guessing that this will become a fairly common occurrence throughout the city this winter given the recent winter finch forecast. Here's hoping that they'll be followed real soon by crossbills and more.
