Pine Siskins seem to come in waves, some years more than others. A few years ago there seems to have been a Salmonella epidemic that really thinned their numbers. For two years I didn't see any. This year they are back in healthy numbers. BTW, many people think it was dirty bird feeders that got to the siskins. I hope people keep their feeders clean.
Here in North Carolina, "winter" only happens for a day or two every couple of years. Today is one of those days, and it's a morning for our winter warblers - here's one of my Pine Warblers out by the feeder.
We have had a flock of about 40 Pine Siskins come in to feed in our backyard. This is the third day they have visited, and they come several times a day. The Siskins were picking through the seeds to find the shelled sunflower seeds and also loved our Suet feeding station. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.

A few more of the Pine Marten from Scotland. I really can't wait to get back up there (different area) in October in all the Autumn colour!
Still plenty of Pine Marten images to go! I'll take a break with some other species at some point ;)
