finches the influx began in early december with evening grosbeaks and crossbills appearing at bird feeders with the new year came the largest movement of pine siskins and redpolls that we have ever seen there is little doubt that the southward influx was due to the lack of seed bearing cones in northern districts many people were puzzled when they saw siskins redpolls crossbills and red breasted nuthatches at their feeding stations for the first time others found the goldfinch in its winter plumage hard to identify perhaps this is the reason why so many people have been asking about books on birds and where to get them the federation of ontario naturalists have an ex cellent supply on all aspects of nature at their nature bookshop 1262 don mills rd don mills late moff cockburn promoted
