[Birdtalk] More info on Pale Pine Siskins

[ConnieM]

I get Pine SIskins and AmGoldfinches at my yard feeder, too.  I have seen
paler PISI among them and used the striped belly to ID it as a PISI.  It
makes me realise -  I have no clue what a female PISI is like.   Can anyone
tell me?
thanks.

BTW, Bryant - I like your photos!
