Pine Siskins have quite noticeable streaking and the yellow at at the base of their tails and in flight feathers is conspicuous in flight.   Their bills are thinner than in other finches.   They are fond of company and may flock with goldfinches in the winter.  They are found in mixed and coniferous woods in summer; shrubs, fields and forests in winter, and their winter range can be inconsistently variable.
