Same here. Last night we had 6 Pine Siskin (maximum number of users) on our thistle feeder and others waiting not so patiently in line. The whole feast came to an abrupt end when the immature Sharp-shinned casually flew in to check out the buffet. Since he hasn't mastered the art of the stealth-approach, he went away hungry.

Hi All: What`s up with these Pine Siskin? When they decide to " invade " they do it in a big way. I looked out this am to find them chowing down on thistle, and previously on Wednesday.
