Enormous influx of Pine Siskins yesterday, biggest flock I have ever recorded here. Oddly, very few repolls, which last week were abundant. We have another 8" of accumulation here. Wild turkey flock continues as feeder birds. Very funny to see them do the turkey panic and fly into the trees, startling all the siskins with them. Some of the turkeys were unable to fly as they day wore on as they appeared saturated with snow and ice that they couldn't shake off. Eagles busy in Totman Cove clearly hunting ducks, but not being successful.
