Siskin |
|
|
The siskin is a tiny finch. Its body is yellow-green with
dark streaks down its back. The male has a black crown and
bib. The female is slightly duller than the male. In flight
you can see streaks of yellow on its wings and a forked tail.
The siskins in the garden feed on the Niger seed in the bird
feeders. |
