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.

.... at Pinus sylvestris bark. When I walk through a woodland of Pinus sylvestris (Scots Pine), I love to look up close at the fantastic variation of shapes and colours in the bark. Here, I took sections out of some of the pictures I took and put them together in this collage.

The Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora) is a resilient tree native to East Asia, spanning Korea, Japan, China, and parts of Russia. It is easily identified by its reddish bark and long, slender needles.
In Korea, the pine tree—known as sonamu (소나무)—holds significant cultural importance. It symbolizes longevity and resilience, thriving despite harsh conditions such as cold winters, rocky terrain, and poor soils. Commonly found in mountainous regions, it is considered a vital element of Korea’s natural landscape.
At Seoul’s Jangchungdan Park, these pines offer shade and shelter to local wildlife, while also embodying the deep historical and cultural connection between Koreans and nature. They frequently appear in traditional art and literature, reflecting this bond.
Pine wood and needles are used in Korean crafts, ceremonies, and traditional practices, symbolizing strength and endurance.
