Thanks to everyone who answer our email in the quest for the identification of the "brightly colored siskin" at Eric and Tammy Bjorkman's feeder.

After reading all the emails and looking at the information on the internet including videos of young Eurasian Siskin the consensus is that it is either a very brightly colored Pine Siskin or the "green" form of the Pine Siskin. It has been an interesting learning experience and thanks to all who have helped.

It is a beautiful bird and the photos do not do it justice.
