Siskins Mostly Gone But Grosbeaks Still Around
©Bert Gildart: For a while we had dozens of Pine Siskins showing up at our feeder most every day. Now, about the only consistent species attracted to our feeder is a family of Grosbeaks. This morning the lighting conditions were fairly good, so I couldn’t resist the temptation to improve my Grosbeak files.
My stock photo files number in the hundreds of thousands, and we makes sales monthly to a number of outlets. Such work has kept me busy for over 40 years, and I plan to continue for as long as I can depress a shutter. Rewards have been many, and as usual, we have plans for some extensive trips starting this fall.
