Male pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator)
Isn't the male stunning?
Pine grosbeaks are large finches that eat mostly buds, fruits and seeds of trees such as ash apple, spruce, pine and mountain ash. However they supplement their young's diet with spiders and insects.
Female pine grosbeak
The females is less colourful but still very attractive, don't you think?
I am joining Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE
I have never seen a pine grosbeak before. They are beautiful! I'm going to have to make a visit to your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos! They are delightful birds and that male has the most striking color.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful birds! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning! Your bird shots always put a smile on my face, thank you.
ReplyDeletethey are both gorgeous, I have never seen these colorful birds
ReplyDeleteLots of colour.... wish they would visit my deck.
ReplyDeleteI'm really impressed with your bird photos...these are absolutely magnificent!
ReplyDeleteStunning for sure! Such beautiful birds way up north.

They are very complementary in their colors.
ReplyDeleteWe have some kind of grosbeak here but it's all brown. I want some of yours!
ReplyDeleteThey make a handsome couple. He would be quite easy to spot I would think. Your bird photos always delight me.
ReplyDeleteDarla
Oh he is a handsome fellow!!
ReplyDeleteThey add a lively splash of color to bland winter days.
ReplyDeleteTruly awesome snaps of these creatures. You must have some great birds around your area.
ReplyDeleteBoth are gorgeous, but I think the red male is more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLéia
both, just gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThey really are both equally gorgeous. In addition to their colors, the wing bars are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThough they are both beautiful birds (that I've never seen here), that male has amazing colour! If only the male of our species had to get all gussied up:)
ReplyDeleteWow - they are both gorgeous! Great shots, EG!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful shots! The male reminds me of our purple finches or house finches, and the female reminds me of our gold finches.
ReplyDeleteYes, stunning.

ReplyDeleteBoth the male and female are quite pretty! Loved your shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat close-ups with such beautiful detail.
ReplyDeleteI actually think the female is more attractive then the male. I love her colors. But both look good. I´m not sure I´ve seen them before. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I haven't seen many of them around our house this winter. I like your post yesterday with the collage of winter birds too.
ReplyDeleteNow, this is an entirely new bird that I have never laid eyes on, till now. Their markings are lovely. Gorgeous birds. Thanks for the treat of looking at them.
ReplyDeleteI love those red feathers!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing colors.
ReplyDeleteStunning captures EG. I think the female is beautiful in her own way.
ReplyDeleteThe male is stunning - but the females not bad either - is this a garden bird for you?
