Hi COBirders,
I haven't seen others mention it, but I am having a Pine Siskin irruption in my yard in NW Colorado Springs (Mountain Shadows). I put up a 6m net in the backyard, and just finished banding 71 siskins and 9 juncos. That makes 130 banded siskins in three days this week, with only 5 birds returned from banding earlier. I look out at my feeders, and most of the plethora of siskins is STILL unbanded! I think it is official!
