Compare: The male Yellow Warbler (pg. 263) is yellow with orange streaks on the chest. Pine Siskin (pg. 77) has a streaked chest and belly, and yellow wing bars. Both female House Finch (pg. 79) and Purple Finch (pg. 91) have heavily streaked chests.

Stan’s Notes: A year-round resident most often seen in open fields, scrubby areas and woodlands. Often called Wild Canary. A feeder bird that enjoys Nyjer seed. Late summer nesting, uses the silky down from wild thistle for nest. Appears roller-coaster-like during flight. Listen for it to twitter in flight. Almost always in small flocks. In northern states, moves only far enough south to find food.
