[cayugabirds-l] Siskin

[Laura Stenzler]

This morning there was a pine Siskin in the yard collecting nesting material. 
He/she looked like he had a mustache of short, spiky whiskers!

[cayugabirds-l] Siskin colors

[Donna Lee Scott]

Having had the good fortune to have as many as 38 pine siskins regularly at my 
feeders, I’ve been able to study the different colors of them.

I’ve seen a few that are quite “whitish” or almost light gray with less stripes 
& I tried hard to make them into immature hoary red polls!

However, finally seeing them in a good light and being able to study the beak 
size and color, I’ve concluded that they are not hoary red polls, but probably 
immature male siskins, because I can see faint yellow on the wing bars on the 
backs of them.

Also,while the beaks are somewhat light colored, they are the same sharp pointy 
beaks like the other siskins and not the “very stubby yellow” bills of the 
hoary red poll.

[cayugabirds-l] siskin shortage :(

[Asher Hockett]

Up through June this year we had a regular flock of Pine Siskins visit our
feeders. I think they must have been breeding here. They outnumbered the
Goldfinches, who yielded ground to the more aggressive siskins. Then,
putting our home on the market, we took down the feeders which were are
porch-rail mounted, so we could clean up and paint the bird-white washed
mess.

About a month ago, despairing the house not selling, we took it off the
market for the winter. I bought new feeders and hangers (we gave away the
old ones) to fill from the full can of seed we still had stashed away. But
at this point - still no siskins! We do have a few Red-breasted Nuthatches
along with all the regulars. Even the female Pileated is back along with a
large contingent of Goldfinches in all their faded glory. My wife said
about two weeks ago that she saw some "franciscans" (I found this so
amusing I was loathe to correct her), but I have been watching closely and
nary a one have I seen. Not to mention rarities like Evening Grosbeaks
which many folks have seen.

So look, fellow birders - please put out the word to YOUR Pine Siskins that
the feeders are open again here in the Hemlock woods on South Danby Road.
And pssst, tell the grosbeaks too. I certainly don't want to resort to
poaching

Hi all,
We still have several pine siskins coming to our feeders. This afternoon I saw 
a siskin feeding two persistently begging fledglings. I didn't realize they 
breed around here!

[cayugabirds-l] Siskin behavior

[Asher Hockett]

Been watching the  Pine Siskins. They alternate at the same niger sock (one
of two) and while one feeds the other fends off off other birds, including
the multiple Bluejays.
