Despite the rain, regular bird members in my backyard come and visit. More birds have tried the birdbath for a drink; no need to take a bath yet since rain will make them wet and clean most of the times.
A Pine Siskin was just taking off after having a drink. Notice a very pointed beak in comparison with other finches such as House Finch, American Goldfinches, Lesser Goldfinches, etc.
Another clear portrait of a Pine Siskin (a pointed beak). How good-looking it is.
Today I made a bit of an interesting discovery. I am not sure what bird it is:
The one on the left is neither a Pine Siskin (not yellow) nor American Goldfinch (not a pointed beak). So is it Eurasian Siskin, a rare bird around here? If anyone knows, let me know.
Once in a while I can still add up a new bird visitor even in this small backyard.
My thought is the bright yellow one on the left is a Lesser Goldfinch. Have seen them in my yard in Lake Oswego, eating the seeds from my Forget-me-nots :-) Good luck with your bird watching!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. When I was writing, I forgot about Lesser Goldfinch. Thank you for your input.
