Totally missed that one! Yes indeed they were Pine Siskins. Thanks to
Larry, Dave, and Marc and a few others for suggesting I may not have meant
Dickcissel. Definitely need to have more coffee before going out in the
morning!
Cheers!

Adam,
Did you mean Dickcissel or Pine Siskins? What you describe below fits the
Siskin. Dickcissels are bigger than House Finch and not striped. Lots of
reports of Siskins, none this time of year for Dickcissel.
