Thanks to everyone for the quick responses! Overwhelmingly a Pine Siskin,
apparently. That's a new one for us, so I hope they return when my son gets
home from school. (He hates when I see new birds without him.) I'll have to
look more closely for the yellow on the wings: I didn't notice any when I
saw them earlier.
Thanks!
