マヒワ/Siskin
黄色の羽衣が鮮やか /Bright yellow plumage
マヒワの魅力はなんといっても鮮やかな黄色の羽衣、真っ青な空の下で一層引き立ちます。そして、よく通る鳴き声はすご〜く賑やか！ 冬から春にかけて、北大でよく見かけます
The most attractive feature of the bird is its bright yellow plumage, which stands out even more under the bright blue sky. Their well-pitched chirping is very loud! Commonly seen in winter and spring.
ベニヒワ/Redpoll
おしゃれな紅色の額 / Fashionable red forehead
紅色の額がおしゃれなベニヒワはマヒワと同じくらいの大きさ、おしゃべりなところも同じです。北大で見るのは珍しい
Redpoll, with its fashionable red forehead, is about the same size as a siskin, and is bustling. Rare to see them at Hokudai.

シラカバやハンノキの実を仲良く啄むマヒワとベニヒワ。まあ、賑やかなこと・・（2021/2 札幌農学校第二農場横のシラカバ並木）
Siskins and Redpolls were pecking at the seeds of birch and alder trees together. How lively!
