SISKINS   -   FRINGILLIDAE

Black Siskin Carduelis atrata Tilcara, Jujuy province, Argentina. At the moment, this is the only photo in the gallery, though it is one of the distinctive members of the family that occurs in the Neotropics. SACC has transferred the Euphonias and Chlorophonias into the Fringillidae based on rock-solid evidence, so at some point I will adjust the galleries to reflect that and these guys will have some friends.
