Robins are starting to show up here as well. Yesterday we had a flock--no, a convention! of pine siskins. They were crowding around the Niger thistle seed feeder.

You always have such great and colorful birds in your yard. I think it is wonderful. Where I lived before there was always different colorful birds. But here I see mainly those blackbirds. I think it is time to make another trip to the park to get some other bird pics once it warms up.
