It's been mentioned elsewhere but this winter we may have an irruption year for some species. Just like the Red-breasted Nuthatches, I also do not see Pine Siskins every year. But yesterday, a flock came over to the bird bath. Now I am silently hoping for some Redpolls and, please, bird gods, some Evening Grosbeaks… Cold season birding can be fun too!

These photos made me realize I haven't seen pine siskins in a long time! Since April of 2024. They're just not a bird that shows up regularly where I live, so I only see them when I happen to travel to the right place at the right time.

These are a workshop wing, so cleaned by a conference workshop participant. Some minor repairs and repinning by me. My prep number for museum records.
