Winter Finches
For most of the winter of 2021/2022 irruptive winter finches have been hard to find. But they are showing up now, so it's a great time to get out and look for them or watch your feeders. We're getting up to 60 American Goldfinches and small groups of Purple Finches daily at present. This morning we also had a Pine Siskin and at least one Common Redpoll. As well as coming to the feeders, they're feeding on the ground in the woods a lot, possibly picking up dropped Eastern Hemlock seeds or American Hop-hornbeam fruits.

We've had goldfinches for the past couple of weeks, maybe a little longer, at our feeders. What amazes us are the juncos that have been with us this winter. It's the first winter we have seen them here throughout. Yesterday we watched three brilliant bluebirds flying around us at the Mill of Kintail.
We've only got one or two juncos left now. There are still quite a few robins around, too. I had 40 at the Almonte Lagoons this morning.
