great winter portrait of this adorable little finch, always great to see, many tfs!!
 
I've seen a few flocks that could have been either siskins or redpolls at a distance, but none of either close up yet this winter. Still ... winter is not yet over, so I remain hopeful. Thanks for sharing this beauty. Keeps me out there looking :)
