Pine Siskin

Spinus pinus

Description:

This suet feeder had this Pine Siskin on one side and a Downy Woodpecker on the other side twisting around each other at least twice. Neither are fond of sharing at the same time, but they did OK flying back and forth to nests (I assume) and returning, waiting for the other to leave before taking their spot on the suet. I finally hung two near each other to help out.

Habitat:

The approach to the feeders seems to be a nearby branch. If there are three birds rotating, one clearly gets the highest spot on the tree, then the next one in line gets the branch nearby. Sometimes they share like the last pic.
