Pine Siskin
Pine Siskin
This little Northern finch is an occasional visitor to our area of southern Ontario but it is a very unpredictable species.
This year however that has been large movements of Northern species due to Cone seed failures and a large flock has been feeding at my nyjer seed feeders.

Pine Grosbeak-Bad weather is good
Pine Grosbeak
Landscape photographers know it. Bad weather can be a good thing, it gives unusual color and light. Bird photographers should know it as well. Snow for example can do some amazing things to reflect the light like a soft natural fill flash. It can also add texture and depth to an image. Of course you have to protect yourself and your gear. Use a lens hood to keep moisture off the lens. Keep spare batteries in a warm pocket against your skin. Fingerless gloves can keep you going. The next time the weather looks bad, plan on getting out there.

Hoary Redpoll
Hoary Redpoll
Unlike the similar Common Redpoll, the Hoary Redpoll is rarely seen here in southern Ontario. When it does show, it is in the company of the more numerous Commons but is separated by slightly larger, but noticeable size. lighter overall shade, smaller bill, and white rump, as well as finer streaking on the front.
It has been a bit of a nemesis bird for me, although I’ve seen a few, It took a long time before I was able to get a close photo of one..

The Siskins are back
Pine Siskin
In most years, Pine Siskins are rare at my feeders, but I’ve enjoyed having a large flock for most of the winter. They disappeared some days ago but suddenly they’ve come back, and are doing their best to empty the nyjer feeders.

Common Redpoll, another Northern Visitor
Common Redpoll from Harold Stiver on Vimeo.
Like the Pine Siskin, this is another small Northern Finch which has shown up in high numbers here in Southern Ontario this winter.
They breed throughout the northern regions of North America and Eurasia, and are found in several distinct subspecies.
