Thanks for your responses. I am beginning to think it is due to the mild winter we are having. The Siskins and Grosbeaks I usually have, are probably not coming this far south. Any Canadians having an increase and decrease of their usual feeder visitors? I have had a Brown Creeper visiting, which has been rare for me. Glad to see it, such a neat little guy.

I haven't seen any this year here in Plymouth, MA but I just checked eBird for May 2013 in Massachusetts and there are a lot of reports. I checked the Birds of North America Online site and they say: "Also breeds very sporadically and locally (usually after major winter irruptions) south to se. Massachusetts (Veit and Petersen 1993)..." Maybe they'll breed in your area! Claire

I have lots too and this is the first time I have ever had any. I have over 20 at a time! I had a really bad time with one this morning. One had flew on a shepard's hook that I have and when I tried to help it, I noticed that one of it's legs was barely hanging and it looked like it was bleeding through the stomach. It stayed alive but barely. I tried my best to help but I knew there was nothing anyone could do at this point. It was in pure pain and misery and I'm not really sure what even happened to it. I shot it and killed it because it was suffering so bad. It was sad.

Wow, you must have a very steady hand to get that clear a pic without a tripod!!! And thru a window to boot? I'm VERY impressed! Do you give lessons?? ;))

I'd love to see more of your pix!
