A male Pine Siskin reaches down to get a drink and almost reaches! Actually, he successfully does manage to maneuver down far enough to get a drink, but it was close.
Pine Siskin are a North American bird of the finch family. It is a small finch that ranges from 11-14cm ( 4.3-5.5in), with a wingspan of 18-22cm (7.1-8.7in) and weighs between 12-18 g ( 0.42-0.63oz).
The Pine Siskin's breeding range is across the entirety of Canada, Alaska and, to a more variable degree, across the western mountains and northern parts of the United States.
Likely due to success of crops from year to year, the Pine Siskin is a highly variable migration species of bird. Large numbers may move south in some years and hardly any in others.
