At 11:30 this morning Carol Cooper, Susan Herrick, Ric Pedler, Ken Sherburn and John Walhout watched a mixed group of finches fly into the treetops along Lost Lake Trail just north of the Snug Harbor fisherman's parking lot. Roughly a quarter of the flock was Common Redpolls, the others about half American Goldfinches and half Pine Siskins.

The flock foraged mostly in the high branches, but a few near the ground, for at least fifteen minutes before moving on.
Shortly after their departure, a dozen Cedar Waxwings also visited that area.
More details and photos from this field trip are posted on our homepage.
