Title: ID Help: Pine Grosbeak
Post by: Doreen on November 24, 2012, 13:24

Tracy these were at my feeder today Nov 24. Would this be a male Pine Grosbeak  
and a female Pine Grosbeak?

How beautiful, Doreen!!    Could it be a white-winged crossbill?

They are definitely Pine Grosbeaks, the male is red.  I had one male and three females at my feeder this morning.   :)
