Greetings,
                 A  couple of days ago I was admiring the pine siskins & 
found one that  looked different, after further viewing I found it to be a 
green morph  pine siskin!  Researchers have found that this unusual coloration  
occurs only in about 1% of the male population, I have been fortunate  
enough to see one for the last 3 years.
                                  Here are some photos of the bird.
 
Good Birding
