My little friend
WORTH SEEING LARGE ON BLACK

Pine Siskin male
(Carduelis pinus)
Portland OR. U.S.A.
This little bird lets me get up to 5 feet away from it. Every time the shutter goes off she/he cocks it’s head but doesn’t get scared of me.
Yesterday I was changing the feed in one of the hanging feeders and right behind my head this smarty was on a branch chattering at me as if to say "thanks" for the fresh food. He came down immediately after I stepped away
