We were all (most?) a bit disheartened at the low turnout at feeders, at
least early in the season. In the last two weeks I've gone from a fine flock
of Goldfinches (perhaps 20, and they were my only finches) to about 110
Goldfinches, a half dozen Purples and two Siskins. I've even added a second
Niger feeder to handle the load.

I still have not even seen a Redpoll this winter, let alone had any at my
feeders. Admittedly, I don't do too much birding in the winter, but even in
low years, I normally get a few Redpolls. I have yet to see a Sharpie this
winter at all as well, though one day last week I did find a clump of Blue
Jay feathers under my feeders.
