Siberian Accentor
About a foot of white fluffy
snow dumped on Seward over the weekend, piling up on branches and burying the
seeds scattered under feeders. I did find the SIBERIAN ACCENTOR, scratching in
a depression at the base of a feeder, searching for millet and other small
seeds. I got a few photos, partially obscured by snow-laden branches and old
grass stalks. He (or she) is really quite a striking bird.
While I was quietly watching,
standing very still, ready to take photos of the Bird, a PINE SISKIN landed on
my left shoulder! Such a little, light spirit! Then, much to my surprise, a
very curious one landed 5" away from my face on my camera lens, held at
the ready. While I was marveling at this sight, another one landed on my hat! Needless
to say, I was very, very pleased to be a temporary tree!
Happy Birding!
