Carduelis pinus

The Pine Siskins are by far the dominant birds of the last two weeks. They showed up all at once, up to a dozen or more at a time. Normally, our House Finches prefer sunflower seeds, and Lesser Goldfinches prefer the Nyjer thistle sock. Pine Siskins are not at all so choosy -- they congregate on both feeders, driving off the other birds, not so much by aggressiveness, but by sheer numbers. This one scattered off to a pine branch, which I found acceptable for a picture.
