<div dir="ltr">Adding that we also haven’t seen any here in NW Seattle. I live in North Beach, between Carkeek and Gold Gardens parks with multiple wooded ravines running north-south, and in previous years the flocks came through methodically moving from tree
to tree. Last year’s eruption was massive and downright eerie when they came through. This year, nada. My regulars and I are thankful for the peace around the feeders :)</div>

<div>I haven't seen one anywhere, but due to Covid recovery and holiday events, we've been sticking close to home since early Nov. We do have scads of Am Goldfinches, though, quickly running through our seed supply. They don't fight as much as Pine Siskins,
which is always entertaining. I guess this just isn't one of those siskin eruptive years.

We have been seeing only a few siskins north of Seattle, occasionally one or two at a time and no large flocks. My son says the same is true in central Texas

number of goldfinches but zero siskins. <br>
