    The pine siskins, here for at least two weeks now, have finally met their
    match: a pink-sided Oregon Junco or Slate-Colored Junco(?) that won't stand
    for any shenanigans. The siskins know it, too: they perch meekly on the
    opposite side of the feeder waiting to be frightened away.
    
    The feeding order has been comfortably established: large groups of lesser
    goldfinch take their meal early in the day to avoid the late-coming siskins
    and juncos. fighting it out amongst each other. In the background,
    non-feeder birds American Robins have been here for a couple of weeks.
