Nature Miramichi:

This bird came by our feeders this afternoon. It was difficult to catch it clearly in the setting sunlight!
Photo opportunities were not perfect, still a treat to have it drop by. Pine Grosbeaks are rare visitors to
our feeders although we have had small flocks in the past.

In some photos a seed shell gives it a cross bill appearance.
