Pine Grosbeak

[Knight]

I only saw this guy long enough for three pictures and heres a little info on him.


One of the larger members of its family, the Pine Grosbeak is a bird of the Boreas forests, found across northern Eurasia and North America, and south into the mountains of western Canada and the United States. A large, unwary finch, it makes periodic winter irruptions into southern Canada and northern United States. It is the largest and rarest of the "winter finches."

I had one of those sitting in my backyard today. Now if only I could figure out how to read the RAW files off my camera now. lol

Nice shots Glenn... way better than mine even though I can't see them yet lol. They look kind of like House finches at first until you see the size difference.

NICE! What an attractive bird. Add another species to my must-see-someday-in-person list.

Thanks for sharing.
