	Pine Siskin
		From the mantle to the rump, Pine Siskins are buffy and broadly streaked with dark brown.
		Pine Siskins are irregularly common to abundant in their breeding areas—in other words, one year they might be found in abundance at a particular location, whereas the next year they are totally absent.
		Pine Siskins are the most frequently encountered member of the irruptive winter finches—a group of finches that breeds in the northern portions of North America and periodically stages major winter invasions into central latitudes of North America.

	Birds, Familiar: Pine Siskin, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent
		Siskins can be attracted to feeding stations by millet seed and by chaff, and Forbush (1929) states that they are "extremely fond of cracked butternuts." They eat many of the vegetable foods commonly used at feeding or banding stations, and eat suet occasionally.
		Field marks.--It is somewhat difficult to distinguish at a distance between the pine siskin, the goldfinches, and the redpolls.
		Siskins in juvenal plumage have the adult pattern but, for some time after they first fly, they are readily distinguished from their elders at close range by the worn plumage of the latter, the young being much buffier, their underparts often tinged with pale yellow, and their overall appearance lighter.

		The pine siskin is a “communal” bird, meaning they are seen in small flocks, perhaps less than a dozen, and with other species, year round.
		From late summer to late winter the pine siskin associates, roughly in descending order of frequency, with the redpolls, crossbills, purple finch, cedar waxwings, and, very occasionally, the juncos.
		A common situation is to find the few siskins in the flocks of the other species, especially when American goldfinches are abundant and the siskins few.
