Wonderful images: Great series!
This is the first time I have seen these birds in Calgary, they have been visiting my pine tree every day for over a week now!
They have been sighted in Pa. this winter, but I do not believe in the eastern portion where I am located. I need this bird and the Red Crossbill for my life list
