On my trip to Arkansas, I was been delighted to capture Pine Siskin photos. I believe there was more than one siskin frequenting my friend Steve Creek’s feeders<\/span><\/a>. I can’t be certain about that though because I only saw one siskin at a time.<\/p>\n

But the siskin or siskins came in regularly to feed on the sunflower seeds and will occasionally eat some suet too. It was a very different habitat than I was used to seeing them in Utah, where I usually saw them high in the Wasatch and Uinta Mountain Ranges.<\/p>\n

I was been able to take some lovely photos of this species here in Arkansas in various types of light. The images I am sharing today are just a sample of the photos I have taken.<\/p>\n

It was a real thrill to be able to take a frame-filling photo of these small, beautifully patterned members of the finch family.<\/p>\n

Pine Siskins do not breed in Arkansas. I’m a bit surprised that the siskin or siskins were still hanging around and hadn’t migrated to their breeding grounds yet. I was happy that they hadn’t yet, obviously.<\/p>\n

I’m sure I will be sharing more of the Pine Siskin photos I have taken here before long. I just need to find time to edit the images of the birds and wildlife I have been fortunate enough to see and photograph.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
