Siskins pose for photos

[Doug & Nina Harr]

Fourteen Pine Siskins (plus some goldfinches) have been emptying our finch feeders for three days now, so I went out to refill feeders this morning.  The little birds were so tame I could walk up within 10 ft. of them to take photos with my older camera and smaller lens, instead of using my newer camera and super-telephoto lens. Here's a shot of five siskins at one feeder and a small telephoto close-up of a single siskin.
