Digiscoping is using a digital camera in combination with a spotting scope (or even with half of your binoculars) to take some surprisingly good photographs of birds. Not a recommended approach for photographing nervous, fast-moving birds like your siskin, but some good shots can be had if the target is a bit less rambunctious. Search in Google for "digiscoping" and you will find a LOT of sites that will explain the details of the technique and also show off some stunning photography. Hope this helps.
