I should have googled before I asked about the siskins nesting here. I found an article that was actually in the Trib in January. Hopefully they will stick around. They will have plenty of food here at my house! I’m sorry Kate. I should have googled before I asked about the siskins nesting here. I found an article that was actually in the Trib in January.

I was totally surprised to see even one. I live in Dormont. They seem kind of friendly. One of them ate at the feeder while I was sitting about 5 feet away. Do you know if they nest here in our area? My trusty bird book shows that they breed in central and northern PA. But the Cornell Lab website shows they only breed in the northwestern states and into Canada. Hi Kate,

It took me awhile to realize what it was. I thought it was just passing through but it is back today. It seems to be hanging out with the goldfinches.
