Pine Siskin

We have a huge flock of these birds coming to the feeders, they are costing me a fortune in Niger seed, sunflower chips and suet. They can be very aggressive to other birds and to each other. Some years we only see a few dozen but this year their must be hundreds of them.

Beautifully sharp shot Jess.
We have a flock at our place too. And I know what you mean about buying all of the seed....
