Day 216: Pine Siskin males and females look alike, but I suspect from the way these two were behaving that they are a mated pair. He always took the highest perch and would move toward her protectively if one of the Steller's Jays took off suddenly, and if you will permit me a moment of anthropomorphization, the look in her eye seems softer than that in his, more feminine. I took several photos of the two of them together, and the gentle glance is apparent in each. This shot was my favorite, showing her in the middle of a wing-stretch.
