Was lucky to find a gold finch and a pine siskin near each other. There seemed to be many siskins in the area, which was unusual, but fun to photograph at last! Did clean up some branchs around the birds.

Sigma 150-500 @ 500mm

Nice job getting two species. Wish the Siskin had turned this way just a bit.

Not easy to get two species and get them both sharp, John. I like the "X" effect of tthe perches too. Do wish to see a larger version though.

Interesting to see two different birds next to each other and I also like the crossing branches as it adds to the image, way to go.
