Feeders Busy

Feeders were very busy today.  Tonight is supposed to be the coldest night of the season so far, into the 20s, so they must have sensed what is coming and were filling up.  Just today we had:

--Carolina chickadee
--tufted titmouse
--house finch
--goldfinch
--northern junco
--red-breasted nuthatch
--red-bellied woodpecker (I never saw the downy but feel certain it came at some point during the day)
--pine warbler
--cardinal
--ruby-crowned kinglet (female)

I may have seen a siskin but it is hard to tell the difference between that and a female house finch.  It all depends on the lighting, and I won't be certain until I see that flash of yellow.
