[EBB Sightings] lincoln's sparrow- Richmond View feeder

Hi Everyone,

  I recently joined the EBB list, and this is my first
post.  I returned from Thanksgiving vacation to find a
LINCOLN'S SPARROW picking around under my birdfeeder
(Saturday late PM then again this morning, monday AM).
 We had one hang out for about 10 days back in early
October, so this may be the same one.  Not sure how
unusual this is, but it certainly has been my best
look at Lincoln's.  The house is at the corner of
Kensington Ave and Taft Ave in Richmond View.  The
area is pretty developed, but we are not too far from
Wildcat Canyon so may get birds coming in from there. 


We also continue to see Pine Siskens- typically 3-6
birds at a time, but had more than 20 at once a few
weeks ago.  Also a couple of Purple Finches in amongst
the HOFI...

Cheers

Alan
