Hooded Siskin (Spinus magellanicus)
Author's comments:
Como dato marginal menciono que nuestro invitado de hoy está posado entre plantas secas de Pasto cubano (Tithonia tubaeformis).
El Pasto cubano, no es pasto ni es cubano, es una asterácea originaria de México caracterizada por ser muy invasora. Mientras los agricultores la ven como una peligrosa peste, los apicultores agradecen su presencia pues al florecer en otoño les permite un considerable aumento de la producción de miel.
Volviendo al pajarito peronista, es de la subespecie Tucumana.
