We, too, have been experiencing a void of siskins for a day or two,
then a crowd arrives but stays not for long. My guess is that these
are different groups, moving through.

I spoke too soon. They're back! Our treetops are once more a-twitter, and
this morning there were something like 35 pine siskins on our deck and at
our feeder. Perhaps this is our little friends returning, or perhaps we are
now hosting a flock that wintered to the south and is stopping by on the way
north. It looks like that 10 pounds of nyger seed we bought last week will
go fairly quickly after all.
