We saw a flock of pine siskins at the Sunday birdwalk at Low Beach, and now they are being seen all over the island. It's an "irruption" of pine siskins. Here are pictures I took of the flock of 36 I saw at Coskata Pond on October 13. They are chowing down on the Marsh Elder, also known as the High Tide Bush...latin name Iva frutescens. I guess they also like pine cones!
There were beautiful fall colors on my hike out there.
