Species he suggests should be seen in moderate numbers include; Purple Finch and Pine Siskin, and species he suggests will be low in numbers include; Red Crossbill, Whitewinged Crossbill, and Evening Grosbeak. While not a finch, but also dependant on the berry crop, Ron suggests there should be a good influx of Bohemian Waxwing this winter in s. Ontario as well. Time to fill your feeders with niger seed for the small finches (Pine Siskin, Common and Hoary Redpoll, American Goldfinch) and black oilseed for the larger ones (Purple Finch, Evening Grosbeak, Pine Grosbeak and the crossbills). The oilseed, with high calorific value is also best for Blue Jay, Cardinal, Black-capped Chickadee, House Finch, Red-breasted and Whitebreasted Nuthatch. High quality mixed seed is best for Mourning Dove, Darkeyed Junco and any sparrows (Song, Tree, Swamp, White-crowned and Whitethroated) that may linger in your yard or vicinity. Suet, offered in mesh onion bags is best for Downy, Hairy and Red-bellied Woodpecker, as well as chickadees and nuthatches. Keep your feeders clean by washing them with hot, soapy water frequently to stop the spread of various avian diseases.
