A few more shots of one of the green morphs visiting the feeders. The Pine Siskin flock size was a bit reduced today with perhaps no more than 15 birds.

    Nice shots! I am still waiting for Pine Siskins to show up at my feeder in VT, although once they arrive they can really eat you out of house and home :-)

    Hi Hilke,

    Not sure where your birds? My flock went AWOL yesterday but are back again in force today with big numbers of goldfinches. There's about sixty birds on my thistle feeders right now (11:25 on Dec 14th). Hope you get some soon.

    James
