I've also seen a huge increase in AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES at the feeder recently.  Had about 50 total on Saturday (including about 10 LESSERS).  Interestingly, I had nothing but Lessers at my feeders up until a couple of weeks ago.  Also caught a brief glimpse of what I think was a PINE SISKIN (too small to be a female House Finch) feeding with the Goldfinches yesterday.  The small flock that it was in flew off before I could get a better view with the binoculars.

Happy rains,

Sitting down for dinner this evening, I noticed a small bird flitting
about our backyard.  My first thought was that it was a flycatcher, but
I thought they were all south by now.  As it turns out, it was a
WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE.  I haven't been hearing any during my bike ride
along the Willamette for a while now--shouldn't it have migrated south
by now?

Yesterday, I had my first of the fall TOWNSENDS WARBLER, JUNCO, and,
WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS.  We've also had many dozens of A. GOLDFINCHES
at our feeder and sunflowers the last few weeks.
