Pine Siskin's

We have had an abundant amount of little Pine
Siskin's in our yard at the feeders. The other day the children asked if they could take my camera outside to try and get some close up photos of the birds.They got the official "Yes!" and off they went....


Minutes later they were back inside, all trying to talk at the same time, telling me how these birds were actually letting them get right up as close as their beaks and not even flying away!! I had to go and see for myself.

They were right! The birds obviously had no fear of the children and were letting them stand alongside them at the feeder for a personal photo session.

I wanted to share a few photographs that they had taken.Amazing.....
