Six more Pine Siskins eventually joined this one at our feeder on 2 Jan 2019. Siskins have been sporadic at our feeder this winter. As I have written previously in this blog, siskin numbers tend to fluctuate from year to year. Even during invasion years, siskins may be common at one feeder in town, but absent from others. Although usually thought of as being drab, brown-striped birds, at close range, you can see their exquisite gold-gilded flight-feathers.
