As we mentioned in our last newsletter, this is shaping up to be a good winter season for
Pine Siskins,
who also travel in flocks, often with
American Goldfinches. Many of our customers are reporting them and also
Purple Finches (another infrequent winter visitor) at their feeders. If you put away your thistle feeder earlier this fall, you might want to put it back out with some fresh
Niger Seed! Siskins also love sunflower seed, especially
Sunflower Meats. If you haven't tried our
Cole's Finch Friends blend, now is a very good time! Finch Friends is a yummy blend of sunflower meats, niger and canary seed and can be used in any typical (non-niger) feeder to attract a wide variety of birds.

The
Georgia Ornithological Society will celebrate their 75th Anniversary this January at their winter meeting on Tybee Island and will feature keynote speaker
David Sibley -
artist, writer and world famous bird expert! Bring the whole family and explore some of Georgia's best coastal birding spots. Many exciting field trips and other activities are planned.
