From Daniel Albohn:
We’ve had regular visits from the Pine Siskins here in Convent Station, and when I went out to fill the feeder at 3:15PM, another group flew in. They were all over the Droll Yankee Flipper, and covered the ground as well. I got within two feet and they didn’t give a hoot. There must be between 24 – 36.
