Pine Grosbeak ~ Pinicola enucleator
a large finch about the size of a robin
A number of birds gathered at the feeders yesterday while we were out clearing snow. We were all very grateful that the sun shone through after all. In between the Grosbeaks on the ground are the little Redpolls, also of the Finch family.
