Annually, information about seed crops, berry production, and resulting bird species movement is collected from various sources, compiled by Ron Pittaway, and shared online. This is a really wonderful glimpse into what our winter bird species lists might include.

For example, the paragraph about Pine Siskin states ” those that fail to find adequate cone crops will probably wander south”.  This has already held true, as I have had a single individual flying over each day this week.

Time to think about filling the feeders! Happy birding!!
