Listening for that buzz-zip is much easier than trying to remember the chatter. Thanks!

Very cool listening exercise to recognize birds!

Great sound clip i just played for a pine siskin thats in my birdhouse here he or she popped it head out to look.

[@birding_by_ear]

So neat! I never heard they nest in bird boxes. Good to know. Could you give me details on the nest box dimensions, how high it is, your habitat and altitude? Fascinating.

My fiancé moved from Leeds to Scotland with me and wasn't used to all the local finches, when he first heard siskens in the woods he came home as that long, drawn out sound they make sounds like Predator 🤣🤣🤣 he's used the birds now but the siskens still freak him out

[@birding_by_ear]

That's funny. Like a horror movie sound?

[@michaeladronsmith6043]

Im sure your all pros at bird boxes i just wanted to mention there are predators and its more difficult for them to get to eggs if its hanging.

No photo option its just small birdhouse hanging from a tree.

[@michaeladronsmith6043]

Called in a dragonfly also.
