That's right, Pine Siskin. The needle-sharp bill tip is the giveaway. Beautiful shot.

Precisely. It has been split from Pine Siskin and is now a separate species.

Thanks for the ID, guys! That's pretty cool, I had no idea these guys were around here. Looks like they are common in this area in winter only, so I suppose I should be happy I caught one when I did.
Thanks again! |
