New birds from the Deck

This weekend we saw a couple of birds for the first time off our deck. Tim saw about 24 swan's flying in their "we're-getting-out-of-here-don't-know-about-you" V this morning. He wasn't positive but they were probably Trumpter Swans. We also saw a flock of Pine Siskin swarming one of the alder trees along the street feasting on the alter cones. They are pretty little birds who will hang upside down to eat the cones.
