December 24, 2023 - Andean Siskin (Spinus spinescens)
Found in the Andes in parts of Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, these finches live in open habitats with some trees and bushes. Foraging in pairs and groups on or near the ground, they eat seeds from a variety of plants, as well as flowers. Little is known about their breeding behavior, though adults in breeding condition have been found in August, they have been seen building nests in June, and recently fledged chicks were observed in March.

March 22, 2024 - Yellow-bellied Siskin (Spinus xanthogastrus)
Found in parts of Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, these finches live in mountain forests, shrublands, and grasslands. They eat mostly seeds, foraging in trees, low vegetation, and on the ground, alone, in pairs, or in flocks, sometimes with other species. Females build cup-shaped nests from plant fibers, roots, lichen, moss, and other materials in bushes or trees and lay clutches of two or three eggs.

BOTD: Pine Siskin
Photo: Doug Greenberg
"Although it is patterned like a sparrow, its shape, actions, and callnotes all reveal that this bird is really a goldfinch in disguise. After nesting in the conifer woods, Pine Siskins move out into semi-open country, where they roam in twittering flocks. They often descend on fields of thistles or wild sunflowers, where they cling to the dried flower heads, eating seeds. In winter they sometimes invade southward in big numbers, with flocks coming to feeders along with American Goldfinches."
