A Pine Siskin this morning
Another new arrival today in Bird.Alley today was a female Red-winged Blackbird(.shown above and just below) We haven't seen this bird for quite a while, so it was a welcome sighting.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Niia5VsDwHWQsVgxQw4eB2Y8kwRU-XGLXefr6zzaUzP0ZWDiIW9U0QwJafR6KtOl60fgv1trXNmTF2pYreKzc_ruyW6jPqfdcuUgAdt2altZSQRhRGY5Sn8heDj27sd-RBZG/s320/female+blackbird.jpg)

A very sweet picture.
Cute to see them together at the feeder. How nice to see the birds coming back!
I am always thankful for the Pine Siskins,they bring such joy to the feeders.
Blessings,Ruth
We used to have lots of pine siskins in our back yard trees - some of which just happened to be pines.
A few years ago, we noticed that they weren't around anymore and discovered that there had been a parasite which decimated their population. They are still a rare sight for us.
Nice to see them again through your lens.
Siskins are pretty little birds. I only saw a couple this year. Wonder if it is the parasite that Stephanie mentioned.
