If one has a black crown they could be a pair of Siskins. Siskins here have started to come back, two initially and now three.

Heavy crop on this photo, what do you think, maybe still in winter plumage.

Thanks for the ID, The Siskins we had before were more yellow, oh well here's a first for this year.

Three if not four Siskins in at the feeders. One was taking off but I am one hundred percent sure it was a Siskin. Pair of Greenfinches came in, first for months. Also had the male GSW yesterday.
