[Birdtalk] PALE PINE SISKIN - VIDEO

[Carl Ingwell]

I agree with Jeff's ID of the Pine Siskin.  IRL (in real life), the bird
looked like a washed out version of a Siskin.  The breast was streaked.  It
did have all the correct features for a Siskin ID.  It was just a little
lighter than normal & there was much more extensive yellow in the wings.
 When I watched the video on my computer, it did superficially resemble an
American Goldfinch, but I blame that on the quality of the video.  It was an
interesting bird, but it was much more interesting to see it in person
rather than on a crummy youtube video.

PS:  Jeff, sorry to diss your video skills.
