York County Siskins

[Dan Gardoqui]

Hey folks,

I've had an impressive "charm" of Pine Siskins in my yard, trees and at my feeders for most of 2023 so far. The group totals anywhere from 15-40 birds most days. I live aout 3.5 miles from the coast and just a mile from Mount Agamenticus in York, Maine.

I'm curious if others are finding decent-sized groups of siskins this winter in S. Maine?  

Also, if there are any local folks who want a peek at some siskins, you're welcome to text me (# below) and we can arrange for you to come by (no guarantees, of course).

Nobleboro, Midcoast. More Pine Siskins than we've had in years. Just seemed like all of a sudden last year's flock of goldfinches were gone and the Siskins were mobbing the feeder. A feisty bunch. Still see an occasional goldfinch though.

Our Pine Siskins arrived on Christmas Eve in Wiscasset and have never left.

Yes, I’ve had about 60-80 pretty much every day since the holidays……with a few goldfinches mixed in…..they visit about twice a day…..

Have had a regular flock of 5-20 Siskins this year in Liberty. Also regular Goldfinches but usually <10, compared to higher numbers of Goldfinches last year. I had not had a Siskin in 7-8 years until this year. Happy to see them!
