For the record: Pine Siskins of 12/26
Kingboider's note: The 75+ Pine Siskins reported last Thursday at Rick's Place ( Boulder Bridge) did not set a new record. A search of the historical records revealed that on December 11th, 1963, 200 Pine Siskins were recorded by Olney Raymond, a much reknown birder of the 50's and 60's.
