We have had siskins all winter at our feeders. They have basically
taken over the feeders--sometimes it seems as if every siskin in Seattle
has been to our backyard--and have been their usual active and feisty
selves. Until today. We saw one sitting in the bottom tray of a newly
cleaned and filled sunflower seed feeder. Concerned, we approached it.
It was slowly eating and actually allowed my husband to touch it gently,
although it jumped up and changed its position the first time he touched
it. We left for about a half hour and when we returned, there was a
pine sisken--possible the same one--still sitting in the feeder tray.
We went inside and the next time I looked out the window--maybe half an
hour later, it was gone. Very bizarre behavior indeed.
