[Maine-birds] Re: Redpoll!

At one point when I could barely see the feeders for all the snow, and with some of the birds disappearing behind drifts, I counted 42 siskin, 8 goldfinch, 9 chickadee's, 3 bluejays, 10 dark eyed juncos, 6 chickadees, 2 downy woodpeckers, 1 hairy woodpecker and 4 tufted titmouses. I also spread a lot of seed under an old lilac where the juncos and chickadee's hang out and there were probably another 20 or so birds out there. Not sure the counts of those as they kept disappearing into it and popping back out.  I expected some activity, but this has been great. They are lucky the "feeder filler" didn't get a snow day.

I love watching my feeders during snowstorms! Just saw my first Common Redpoll of the season chowing down on nyjer along with the Am Goldfinches and Pine Siskins.
