Common Backyard Birds in New Jersey in the Spring

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.

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