[Birdtalk] PALE PINE SISKIN - VIDEO

[Jeff Bilsky]

My video skills leave much to be desired. I will have a viewing of my
feeders this weekend. BYOB. Drink every time you see a siskin. If the pale
one shows up we do shots. Who's in???

Thanks for the corroboration Mr. Ingwell.

Anyone who does want to see the original video I am more than happy to show
you. Good Birding!
