They bred here in late April. I'm not sure how often PISI breed in the metro area and south, but this is only the 2nd time in 8 years that we've had nestling siskins at WRC.
They've already fledged and are flocking to feeders. The other day we were watching young birds try to figure out the feeders in Dundas and wondering: Will they fly back to traditional breeding territory for 2nd brood? I wouldn't think they'd raise a 2nd brood here...

I have had a few Pine Siskins that have stuck around since Winter but this afternoon there must be hundreds of Pine Siskins in the trees nearby. The sound of zzzziiipppp... is everywhere. I have never seen/heard so many Pine Siskins and usually they are gone by April.
