The first bird that I observed on Sunday, January 1, 2024 was a Pine Siskin in Flagstaff, Arizona.
The Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus) is a North American bird in the finch family. In Northern Arizona they are a common feeder bird throughout the winter. This bird was photographed at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

Birds fill our lives with joy and wonder. Constantly entertained by their melodic song, we enjoy observing their vibrant colors, watching their antics and photographing their unique expressions.
