> Yes, Pine Siskins have been few and far between at most feeders, at least 
> those near Halifax.  However, Gary Murray reported a flock of 30 at his 
> Bedford feeder on 28 Dec, the date of the Bedford-Sackville CBC.
>
> We have had occasional visits of up to 6 Siskins in a mixed flock with 
> Redpolls and Goldfinch.  They spend about 5 minutes at the feeders and 
> then they're off!!  We saw them very briefly yesterday.
