The 2012-2013 winter is predicted to be one of those years when these finches travel in search of food, and chances are one of their destinations will be your backyard feeder, especially if you live within the northern two-thirds of North America. Pine siskins, evening grosbeaks, purple finches, common and hoary redpolls, and white-winged and red crossbills will be invading backyards, cemeteries, woodlots, and city parks in search of food.
