Occurrence Notes
A common permanent resident of mixed conifer forests on the Kaibab Plateau and an uncommon and local permanent resident of ponderosa pine forests throughout the region. It is an irregular but often common fall, winter, and spring visitor in pinyon-juniper woodlands and also in ponderosa pine forest, where migrants augment the local residents’ numbers. Migrants and visitors in pinyon-juniper span nearly the entire year, from 6 Jul to 27 May. Pine Siskin is very rare spring and fall migrant along the Colorado River, where there are only four records. Data source: Gatlin, BP. 2011.
