Pine Siskin, Adams Cty 7-29-17

[Eric DeFonso]

Hi folks,

I'm sure that subject line wasn't exactly riveting to most birders, but during an early-evening run through my nearby residential neighborhoods, I encountered a pair of Pine Siskins attending to some sunflowers right along 92nd Ave not far from Federal Blvd. Pine Siskins are of course fully expected and typical at higher elevations right now, but seeing them in the city in July was a bit surprising. Ebird shows very few July urban Denver sightings of Pine Siskin over the past 10 years.
