Immature Pine Warbler (Setophaga pinus) - A Backyard bird on the The Space Coast of Florida
One of the few warblers that you will find on your bird feeder. Because not only do they like pine seeds, but sunflower seeds will also do.
This goldfinch sized bird is not a yearly winter visitor, but the winters that they come, they seem to be here in large numbers. About ten years ago one pair stayed in the yard and actually had a brood here.
Not much of a macro shot actually, the 18-55 kit lens has of course its limits. But after cropping it's quite ok.

Would anyone be able to id this grevillea for me please?. It was growing outside the Lazy Lizard store in Pine Creek. A tall, thin, scraggly bush about 8-10ft. Growing similar to a casuarina. Beautiful shrub
We got another inch of snow last night but had 30 mph winds so it did drift and driving was difficult. Suzy and I have to make our last trip out to the horses this morning as their caretaker will be back tomorrow from the state wrestling tournament. I didn't realize how out of shape I am, I get quite winded when I carry three bales of hay 100 feet and throw them over a five foot gate. I am sure glad I didn't take the job on for the entire winter. It has been a good lesson because I would probably be on the top of his list next winter; now I know I would not want to do it all winter.
Grayling Michigan. As far as I know, the only stand of virgin white pine left in the state. I believe some are over 300 years old. geotagged geo:lat=44.752097 geo:lon=-84.678497

Generally an inhabitant of coniferous or mixed coniferous-deciduous forests, the Pine Siskin breeds as far north as central Alaska and northern Canada but also ranges south in suitable habitat to northern Baja California and through the Mexican highlands to Guatemala. Known to many observers as an unpredictable winter visitant, it is an irruptive species abundant in a given locality one year and often absent the next. Presumably this pattern is related in some way to annual variation in the distribution and abundance of seeds that make up the bulk of its diet. Reproductive schedule and attachment to a particular breeding area appear to be less rigidly fixed in the Pine Siskin than in many other songbirds. In some cases, members of an irruptive population may linger on a favorable wintering ground long enough to breed.
