Great shot Janet, a shot that raises so many questions about bird species and their development.
I don't think we have birds like this in the UK....to my knowledge.
Individual White-winged Crossbills can eat up to 3,000 conifer seeds each day. WOW.!
So that's where all the seeds go.!

Lovely image, Janet. You can certainly see where it gets it's name. I just got an e-mail from our MA. bird list talking about a flock of 25 of these beauties in some fir trees locally. I have yet to see one myself.
