More pine siskins have been showing up at our feeders in Jefferson. We had six Wednesday morning and only two a week ago. We had 73 evening grosbeaks including one leucistic one this morning. That number is down about 40 from a week ago and hopefully many are moving further south to be enjoyed by others. Purple finches are up in numbers and I counted 14 on Wednesday morning.
The below zero temperatures will be helpful in limiting the spread of the hemlock wooly adelgid. I know it won’t be popular but we need another several days of minus 20 temperatures at night to limit the spread of these adelgids.
