Common Backyard Birds in New Jersey in the Spring

Pine Siskin 

The Pine Siskin is supposed to be here only for the winter. Their range is extending and they may stay. I hope they let the goldfinches have a turn at the thistle feeder.

Northern Cardinal 
One female and two male cardinals have been frequenting this feeder. There appears to be quite a competition for her attention by the males.

    Thanks for the photos ! I have always fed the birds but am just recently wanting to identify the different types that are visiting - did not know that the red headed fellow (or gal) was a house finch :)
