Pine Siskin: A Tiny Dynamo of the Forest Canopy

The pine siskin, Spinus pinus, is a small, energetic finch known for its striking plumage and lively demeanor. With a brown - streaked body accented by bright yellow wing bars, these birds add a splash of color to the coniferous forests and open woodlands they inhabit across North America. Their small, pointed bills are perfectly adapted for extracting seeds from cones.
