Pine Siskin?

Post by Doris_J »

Am I a Pine Siskin, or am I somebody new?

This guy just sat at the feeder for a couple of minutes, not even bothered that I was there.

I can only guess cause that's one I don't see here either. It sure looks like the pic of the Pine Siskin. Course so does every sparrow type bird on the planet....to me anyway. :oops: :D

That he knows for sure. They ARE reported in his area of S.C. Now that he is sure what they look like, He'll look closer..
