Pine Siskin – The Obscure

Pine Siskin

The Obscure

It seems as though it is usually the ‘glamour’ animals [eagles, big cats, bears, the large ungulates …] that are most often admired and celebrated. Rightfully so in many respects. They are simply stunning! But there are other ‘critters’ out there, too.

A point in case is the handsome, smallish [4.5-5″], mostly seed-eating, native finch species known as the Pine Siskin.
