Pine Siskin?

Postby Doris_J » Mar 05, 2005 1:40 pm

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

O.C. has never seen a Pine Siskin

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..

That FUNNY & very FRIENDLY Old Coot, named John, stating flatly, that Spring IS COMING in just 13 more days.

The Pine Siskins have found every feeder in my garden! They're out in full force this morning.
