Ya Yellow-Bellied. . .

This is one of our favorite birds--particularly for its name. It's a very striking bird (all yellow and black) but its name invokes a time gone by, when you called someone out.

This is a Yellow-Bellied Siskin and it is jet black with bright yellow around the wings and on the underside (hence the name).

It's great to spot these birds in the morning flitting around among the more common ones, as we don't get to see them all of the time.
