To the idea that there is some question as to if Darrell Faxon’s bird is indeed a Pine Grosbeak. So as my eBird submissions seem to be hidden, or hiding of late, here are a few pics which I took yesterday. A big question here, if this is a house finch with pox issues: Sibley puts the size of a siskin at 4.8 inches, house finch at 5.7 inches, which would make it about an inch bigger that a siskin. Pine Grosbeak is 8.7 inches, making it almost twice the size of a siskin. Based on this, the bulk of this bird seems to approach the grosbeak.
