A number of people have reported a resurgence of Pine Siskins in the 
last few days.

We can now join the crowd -- I just noticed that two of the drabber 
Goldfinches swarming all over and chowing down on our thistle feeders 
are in fact Pine Siskins.  I don't know how long they have been 
around, because we've been away for much of the last week, but I 
suspect they just came in.

The male Goldfinches are looking very snazzy in their new, bright 
plumage, and even tradesmen visiting the house can't fail to notice 
them. (You keep canaries?)
