The Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus) is a small, streaky finch (11-14 cm [4-5.5 in] long; 12-18 g [0.4-0.6 oz]) with a tiny, pointed bill and yellow wash on its wings and tail. It forages for seeds from coniferous and deciduous trees and forbs. It is found throughout North America. The Pine Siskin will experience a high degree of climate exposure and has a high adaptive capacity. Overall, it has a Climate Change Vulnerability Index ranking of Moderately Vulnerable under both Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 Scenarios. The Pine Siskin’s climate change vulnerability is impacted by factors related to movement and life history, which influence its ability to shift in space and persist in place. It also has documented or modeled responses to climate change that impact its vulnerability score.
