Pine Siskin #9904

White Rock, NM view map

Carduelis pinus

Pine Siskins look a lot like House Finches from a distance, until you see the smaller, more pointed dark bill, and the touch of yellow on their wingbars. They are attracted to the Nyjer thistle sock, but this one found a seedhead from last year's Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) to dine on.
