Index of Subjects I had one flock of 20+ redpolls today, and a second flock of 40+ pine siskin. Murray reported a flock of 135+ pine siskin here the other day, and I believe that. I am aware that Murray comes in the drive up on the hill seperated from my back yard by bushes that are usually full of birds that I do not see well enough to count. Thus there are usually more birds in the area than the ones I see.
