Chirps and Cheeps | Pine Siskins - Finally!
Today brought my first Pine Siskin to our feeders! I am pretty sure it was a male due to more yellow markings on his lower wing tips.
I managed many photos as he was quite content to sit, pick through the seeds on the deck railing, and get photographed. Halfway through, I turned on the flash and he was fine with that too. It was tough to get a pic without seed casings on his beak; what a messy eater!
I almost lost my fingers to frost bite due to a sub-zero wind chill factor, but I was too mesmerized to move to and seek warmth!
This shot seems to show just how much he really enjoy picking through the seeds on the deck!
How exciting to finally find this guy at my feeders! I believe this is a male?
