PINE SISKINS were feeding voraciously on Dense-flowered Willow-herb in
our small backyard near the UO today. Every year about this time either
siskins, or one of the two goldfinch species, lands on the stalks of
these plants and eats seeds. Dense-flowered Willow-herb is a native
species that blooms late with pink flowers. Leaving the stalks in place
(being lazy instead of tidy) seems appreciated by the birds!
