Pine Siskin
Carduelis pinus
In yesterday's blog I stated that Pine Siskins were one of the birds that always outnumbered House Finches at our winter feeders, but because the siskins are known as an irruptive and irregular species, in migration they do not show up every year. Nevertheless, when they do show up, it's usually in goodly numbers. This suits me just fine, because they are such pretty little creatures. They are about the same size as the goldfinches and act in similar ways.
