​John,


I had no pine siskins or redpolls, but a few goldfinches off and on.

Now that winter is (hopefully) behind us, I have a question. I had zero winter finches this feeder season. I understand that Redpoll appearances are cyclical, but I always have at least a few Pine Siskins and/or Goldfinches. I also noticed in other folks postings that there wasn't much mention of these birds. So I'm wondering, did other folks have a similar experience, or was it just me?
