Pine Siskins in the Midwood

Yesterday at around 11am Tom Stephenson and I birded the Vale to Upper and Lower Pools. We ran into Peter Dorosh as we entered the Midwood from the West, coming from Nellie's Lawn (sorry...not sure if this spot has a specific name). That was where we had at least three Pine Siskins along with a small flock of Goldfinch feeding high up in the trees. We also had a number of warblers at the Lower Pool...Pine, Palm, and Yellowrump, plus a couple of Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers, and a Louisina Waterthrush working the edges of the Lower Pool.
