Pine Siskin

This past week I identified a Pine Siskin, a small brown finch that was singing loudly while perched on our Ash tree. Speaking of Ash tree...our neighborhood is full of ash trees and now I've recently learned that the dreaded Emerald Ash Borer is located in Wisconsin, Yikes! Just across the Mississippi. According to the StarTribune.com article, Minnesota has close to 900 million ash trees, second in the US.
