Bird Identification

Aaron has been teaching us how to identify birds by referencing several bird guides. We've been trying to follow his instructions, but we still revert to our old ways occasionally and try to identify them by color only. The point is now that we have been watching the pine siskins at the feeders, we realize how different they are to the goldfinches. If one didn't pay attention to the differences, then I can see how goldfinches, pine siskins and yellow rumped warblers do all appear to be similar. He would not agree with this because he can easily see their differences. But to me, I can certainly see how at a glance it could be confusing. So here they are for you to check out. These sweet little birds are loving the sunflower hearts, seeds and thistle - so if you would like to attract them, place some feeders in your back yard and enjoy the show!
