COBirders,
This post probably will be of interest mostly for our less hard-core subscribers. This morning a solitary Pine Siskin visited my back yard, mingling in with a few American Goldfinches who are molting more yellow feathers in anticipation of spring. A single Pine Siskin is a rarity in that this species is definitely one that loves to flock. These birds are also very undependable about showing up at any particular place in a particular season. They usually aren’t seen in our state at lower elevation in warm weather, however. Siskins used to be fairly common at my Pueblo feeders but this one was the first I’ve seen here in a couple of years. Just goes to show, even relatively common birds can be interesting and fun.
