[TN-Bird] Pine Siskin nesting photos

In reviewing my photos of Pine Siskin at Roan two were close to acceptable
(extreme enlargements from shots with normal lens from several feet away).
Possibly Chuck Nicholson and Michael Sledjeski got better photos, but I know
the
bird was carrying nesting material in my shots. It was stealing material
from an old nest in a rhododendron hedge and using it to build it's nest.

The siskin nesting site is on private property, on the Tennessee side well
down the mountain from the top at one of the Alder Flycatcher spots. The Brown
Creeper we observed with nesting material may have actually been in North
Carolina. We were standing on the road (on the Tennessee/NC line?) looking
east
or in the direction of N.C..
