[TN-Bird] A most approachable Pine Siskin

Yesterday morning when I went out to refill my thistle socks, I noted that
one Goldfinch continued to feed, apparently oblivious to my presence. "Those
Goldfinches must be hungry," thought I. On closer view, however, the Goldfinch
morphed into a Pine Siskin that obviously had no intention of leaving this
food source. I moved within five feet of the bird and stayed there for about
ten
minutes, waiting out this bird that I rarely see--and certainly not this
close up and personal. The bird won; I got tired of standing stock still and
backed away. Last I saw, this visitor was still stuffing itself, perhaps in
anticipation of its forthcoming migration back to the north woods.
Are Pine Siskins always this approachable?
