It was fun to observe 30+ Pine Siskin up close. In Colorado I would see them while hiking; however they tended to flit high in the trees out of photo range.

Nature sure has a way of protecting the birds. 😉
Thanks and to you too! Yes, somehow they survive against the odds I think
Now I know, I always thought it was a female goldfinch!
