FIRST AND FAVORITES - PINE SISKIN

Today's post is to share my first ever photos of a Pine Siskin.  I was able to watch this one dismantle a dandelion bud...





Instead of eating each seed as it was removed, the siskin lined them up. Perhaps as an offering to a potential mate?


The next photo is of my first, and only, Magnolia Warbler...

Ooops!  Several people have informed me that this is a Townsend's Warbler.  Still a first for me....



If you are in the area this Sunday, February 7, and need to kill some time before the big game starts, consider dropping by the dairy parlor at Foxhaven
Farm to hear the presentation on wildlife photography that Dick Bittner and I will be giving.  Details are on the following flyer ...





Preregistration is not required and attendance is free.


Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
