Look up Pine siskins in your bird book. Had a LOT of them last fall. Never saw before. Look a lot line gold finches in winter color.

Wife got some shelled sunflowers at the hardware store and the goldfinches moved in. The pine siskin will hold the feeder from a dozen goldfinch and a row of chickadees. Never seen them before this year. We have had a lot of snow on the mountain and they will probably move back up the ‘hill’ come spring time. We used to have a bunch of quail that would follow their mom around under the feeder in a little line. I think the cats fixed that.

Best way to describe the Pine siskins call is running your finger down a nylon hair comb. BZZZZZZing for about 5 seconds
