I had not seen any Siskins or Purple Finches until today. I noticed this
morning that something had eaten a lot of seeds from our feeders. I went
outside a few minutes ago and there were 20 plus Pine Siskins and 20 plus
Purple Finches. I also had several American Goldfinches and House Finches.
I noticed several of the Puple Finches were young males (colored like females
but with a splash of red). This is by far the earliest I have had Siskins visit
our feeders.
