Pine Siskins

Today I want to show you a few pictures of the Pine Siskins.

I know that not every one appreciates them,but I love them.

WE do not have a lot of variety of birds in the winter,

so the Pine Siskins are a welcome addition to the feeders.

They are quick to come to an outstretched hand with food in it.

Even though these birds are not brightly colored,they are cute.

The males have more yellow on their wings,but even the females,like the one above,are pretty.

Looks like this could be a very cold perch.

When the Siskins are around in large numbers,they will perch anywhere.

They may even sit in line,waiting for a turn at the feed.

These birds do sit still for very long at any time.

The high pitched song of the Pine Siskin is quite uplifting on a cold winter day.

In my opinion,each bird has some beauty,even though I may not appreciate all of them at my feeders.

God's mighty hand

can be felt every minute,

for there is nothing on earth

that God isn't in it.
