Nice shots of a very good looking bird--I like the reflections in the rain drops too.

I love siskins. They only show up in MO during the winter and are uncommon, but a great bird. Very nice captures also

Beautiful shots......he left about 30 of his friends in lower Alabama, I've decided that they aren't leaving, they're still here.

Pretty shots. The droplets add to the scene.

Hello all,

Thank you for looking at my siskin pictures. I too like the water droplets. The siskins are very approachable up here at this time of the year. If you feed them in the area they will land on your hand. They are common but pretty little guys. I will let them know that their kin in Alabama asked after them.

Nice catch. I've had a sizable flock here in Ontario for 3 months and they are still around my feeders. I hope I get them back next year. Great little birds.

Nice shots. I had a couple hit my yard and stay for a few weeks, late this winter, but they seem to have headed back North already.

Nice shots--he looks fat, happy and well-fed! I've got so many of them in the yard I can hardly keep the feeders filled....
