Where to spot
Widespread across North America, especially in coniferous and mixed forests. Breeds in Canada and the northern U.S., wintering south into the U.S. and Mexico.
How to spot
Listen for their distinctive, often nasal 'zzzzzz' call. Look for them feeding on conifer cones or thistle feeders. Note the fine streaking and hints of yellow in the wings and tail.
When to spot
Can be seen year-round in their breeding range. During winter, they can appear almost anywhere there's a good seed crop, especially thistle and conifer seeds.
