Habitat and Migration
Found throughout the contiguous United States, much of Canada, and parts of Mexico, pine siskins are migratory and have sporadic winter ranges. They make their homes among conifer trees, in areas with heavy weeds, and mixed woods.
Social Behavior
The nesting habits of pine siskins vary and they may be found nesting in pairs or loose colonies. Usually these nests are from 10-40 feet above ground and females are the nest-builders and during courtship, males typically feed them.
