Index of Subjects Hi Patricia: Great Job with the list! I'd like to add I've had a Common Redpoll @ my feeders on and off with a couple of P.Finch and Pine Siskens. these birds join the 150-200 AG Finch every few days since early Jan. All the best Tom K Canso ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia L.
