The only bird coming to our feeder was the finch that all changed
today. We got a flock of red crossbills (juveniles & females - hence the
lack of red color). Check out the end of that beak...

Oh a Crossbill, lucky YOU...I watched for them constantly for all the years I lived up north...never saw a one! Thank you for the great picture!
Great picture!I see why ther are called crossbills.
what an interesting beak! they're so cute!
That beak is specialized to pry open pine cones, as pine seeds (aka pignoli or pine nuts for you cooks) are always oily & nutritious.
