A lonely bristlecone (Pinus longaeva) stands mighty in the late night air at Ancient Bristlecone Forest.
Do me a solid please and view my last post, It seems Flickr felt the need to throttle back its exposure last night.

Almost too close. After they were mostly absent for two years, we are regularly seeing these finches again.

The winter Finches we normally see here like Common Redpolls, Pine Grosbeaks, and Pine Siskins, are very scarce this year. This is the only Siskin I observed this year and December 2022 so far.

Thanks Lenabem-Anna for their beautiful texture.
The sighting of this warbler on a private property east of Edmonton lead to an Alberta rare bird report on ebird. They are common in the eastern pine forests of North America, but not here in central Alberta.
The property owners were very generous. They set up a scheduled window of time in which those interested could enter their property and observe and photograph this local rarity. They asked only that anyone who came to see this bird leave a donation to the local food bank in a bin they provided for that purpose.
There are six records of this species in Alberta including two over winter records. Since this one eats suet as well as seeds, and has shelter, it has a good chance of surviving our central Alberta winter.

This Beauty stands in "Nationaal Park Hoge Veluwe" in the Netherlands. It has some very interesting and weird branches. This shot was taken during daytime, with the sun breaking thru, at F11 with a Laowa 100mm F/2.8 2X Ultra-macro lens.
Today in the late afternoon i had an invasion of Pine Siskins in my back yard. There were at least 100. I have never seen this in my yard before.
I had just sprinkled my usual bird food mix on my deck rail and was into my flickr stuff when I noticed dozens of birds through my computer room window that were not House Sparrows or Chickadees. They were all over the deck floor, rails, and shrubs.
This one perched nicely on a rock I have on the rail for just that purpose.
I took this picture from my adjacent open bathroom window while standing in the tub. This is my 39th species of "bathtub blind" shots.

I haven't seen a lot of these pointy-beaked little Finches this year except on one particular trail. A couple of other local birders showed me shots of them gathering nesting materials there this week.

Pine Siskins are common residents in central Alberta and southwest to the mountains and foothills except when they are not.
The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta says this:
"As with other nomadic and irruptive finches, the exact breeding range of the Pine Siskin is not easy to define. It may be common and and breeding in an area one year, and gone the next."
This winter there are very few around the Edmonton area. I caught this one on a river valley trail today.
