Crossbill

2 females feeding up to 5 juveniles in the trees next to our garage earlier this week. Females were frantically stripping young pine cones for their seeds to feed very demanding and noisy youngsters.

What a feast they've found.... going to be some well-fed chicks, aren't there Mark.

What a lovely find for you laddie. I've rarely ever seen Crossbills, and then they've always been right at the top of the tallest of trees!!

Thanks for showing her to us.
