Jim Almquist Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 If you have a thistle feeder they will hang around much longer. I have a flock of 30-40 that come in most everyday with a mix of Pine Siskins and a few Goldfinches thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Rarely see ssiskens or redpolls here even with thistle out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingstar Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I wish I could send you the ones I have here. It looks like they are mean to the other finch's. I get home from work around 3pm and there is 10 to 15 of them until dark. They will be heading north as it warms up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have them at the cabin if we are up there enough in the winter to consistently feed the birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 They really like the finch socks, but ever since I switched from black oil sunflower seeds to the hearts/chips, they’ve really been going nuts at the feeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 When do the redpolls start showing up? Haven’t had any yet. I don’t recall when they showed up last year, just that they stayed well into April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingstar Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It has to get colder maybe January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBMasterAngler Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Well, they finally showed up today! And it didn’t take them long to go through 2 tube feeders of sunflower chips. That’s what all my extra money will be spent on for the next coup weeks. wasabibert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
