Hello, bird people:
At 11:40 a.m. I noted a single pine siskin gobbling thistle and sunflower
chips from a thistle feeder while ignoring the aggressive goldfinches. This
is the first siskin for our backyard this year, and for many years.

At the other thistle feeder, a red-bellied woodpecker wobbled to hold on as
she lapped up seeds.

These feeders are located in the northwest corner of St. Paul, in Ramsey
County.
