The nest is in a low tree or grass tuft, and is of moss and grass lined with hair, feathers, or other soft material. The eggs are from four to six, white, tinged with bluish-green and spotted with reddish-brown. Classification: Order Passeres. Family Fringilidae. Scientific name: Acanthus linaria. Range: Breeds in extreme northern portions of North America, and winters south to northern United States. No. 30a Pine Siskin Length 5 inches Like the Redpoll, the Pine Siskin is one of those widely distributed birds whose movements depend, to a great extent, upon the weather and the food supply.

The nest is in coniferous trees, and is made of rootlets and grasses lined with pine needles and hair. The eggs are from three to four, greenish-white and speckled with reddish-brown. Classification: Order Passeres. Family Fringillidae. Scientific name: Spinus pinus.
