Look at that sharp bill!
Here's the pair, still as unafraid as before. I could have reached out and touched them.
A couple of days ago, one was on the old fuschia planter, collecting a large beak-full of fibers from the coconut matting, and being quite picky about it, too. So they're nesting in the vicinity. And I hope the weather co-operates.
Pine siskins are the cutest little birds. The ones that come to visit our feeder let me get closer to them than any of the other birds.
ReplyDeleteWe have a natural fiber doormat that the black-capped chickadees have been pulling apart for their nests. It is so cute to watch them with their beaks full of it.
