It is fast becoming a rule here at Cary BirdCam that when I make a statement of probability, such as "the Pine Siskins are nowhere to be found", that almost immediately I will be proved wrong. And...why, yes, I complained two days ago that the Siskins were gone and today BirdCam picked up a bird with Siskin field marks. 'Ol David is wrong again. There may nto be a lot of these little seed piggies, but there is certainly one hanging around. I said the same thing about the Purple Finches, so I suppose I'll find evidence of them tomorrow. And what else? that the Goldfinches will stick around? I shudder at the thought of my confident claims going town like Pine trees in a new subdivision. Call it the Cary BirdCam Rule.
