Year-roundBreedingMigrationNonbreeding

Migration

Irruptive. Pine Siskins' winter movements are erratic and depend partly on the state of cone crops in northern North America. About every other year, Pine Siskins irrupt, or move into central and even southern parts of the continent, but the timing and extent of these movements are extremely variable.
