When we lived in Bryce Mountain Resort, I saw pine siskins frequently, but I haven't seen them here much. Then this guy showed up! Hi, Siskin!
He is similar to a goldfinch in some ways, but not nearly as bright.

That red winged blackbird is probably quite ordinary to you, but to me he is quite extraordinary and very unusual, how lovely!

ReplyDeleteHello, I love the cute Siskin. I have not seen them in years. Pretty birds and photos. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteCute little siskin. I'm glad he came by for a visit. Nice collection of birds.
ReplyDeleteI saw one (Siskin) the other day, and thought it a juvenile Goldfinch. Thanks. Red Winged Blackbirds aren't in my area of mountains, they might be in some marshes though. I used to see them all the time in FL.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if siskins are around here. The red wing blackbirds do spend at least part of the year here, and for a few weeks in spring, the males are quite territorial about protecting the nest.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! The goldfinch is one of my favorites. I like seeing their flash of bright yellow.
ReplyDeleteI love the little Siskins ... they are so cute and I don't see them often. I only have seen one Goldfinch too...and, have a pretty good photo of him... but, only the one.
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with those little Siskins but I love seeing them. Your bird photos are outstanding! Thanks for sharing Linda.
ReplyDeleteHard to tell the siskin from a goldfinch in the winter
ReplyDeleteAll fabulous photographs Linda ...
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see, thank you.
All the best Jan
Beautiful birds, great photos.
