Pine Siskin #4871

White Rock, NM

Carduelis pinus

The most interesting thing about this picture of a Pine Siskin is that he perched at exactly the same place as the House Finch did yesterday. The winter birds are almost all here now, even the Lesser Goldfinches have moved south. One question I have is whether or not we will get any American Goldfinches wintering here this year, like we did last year. It may still be early for them.
