I really enjoy how the scientific name for pine siskins (spinus pinus) sounds so wizardly, thus I felt compelled to draw one as a wizard.

Sometimes the common names and scientific names of birds are really frustrating but my recent fave is:

Eurasian Siskin - Spinus spinus

and

Pine Siskin - Spinus pinus

#like damn #yeah #that do be Spinus pinus there #the rest of the goldfinches are all 'Spinus' but none are as funny as these two #especially with the fact they're like 'mirror species' or whatev lol

This pine siskin (Spinus pinus) had just grabbed a drink of water from the bird bath. If you look closely you can see a water drop forming beneath its beak.

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

okay so I went through and tested a bunch of urls... none of the ones I was thinking of were available, oh well, so now I have to figure this out lol. I don't want to misspell/leetspeak a scientific name, so I only tried genus-species names or one or the other. here are my options!

Recent birds.

Bridled titmouse / carbonero embridado (Baeolophus wollweberi) enjoying a morsel of Ash Canyon Suet. 

Bushtits / sastrecillos (Psaltriparus minimus). There really is no need for the singular bushtit, since you never ever see just one. 

Pine siskin / jilguerito pinero (Spinus pinus). On the days I have feeder duty at Ash Canyon I usually arrive before dawn. On these cold mornings I often find siskins sleeping on perches on the feeders, or huddled on the ground waiting for the sun. This morning I had to coax a torpid siskin off its perch and onto my finger to fill the feeder it was sleeping on. 

All at Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary in Cochise County, Arizona.

Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus)

Chadron State Park - Fall 2023

Pine Siskin feel like a stretched goldfinch to me. Like a lot of North American finches, they tend to be an irruptive species- a species that experiences rapid population booms and busts, and one that will readily move in search of food. Siskin breed in Canada, and as winter falls they move south to the States and Mexico to search for seeds to fuel their very mobile family groups. There are some populations that can live year round in one spot, but those tend to be mountainous regions that can sustain these seed eaters.

One of my favorite things about these birds is one of the noises they make when chatting to each other. There are typical chips of a finch, but there is also this crisp zzzziiiiiiiiiiip! sound they'll make that makes me so giddy. (the clip below also has some American Goldfinch flight calls - "po-tay-to chip! potato chip!")

All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL.

#bird banding #pine siskin #without a doubt I'll hear 'vague finch sounds' and try to pin the species #and I'll be like 'oh I think those are siskin- ZZZZEEEET!- aww hell yea got it right its siskin!!'
