August 2012 – Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
Amazing how different the coloration of these birds can be. I saw a number of these and think they were either females or young birds… It took a bit of deduction to come to the conclusion they were Pine Grosbeaks.
November 2004 – Mt. Ararat, Washington
This was one of a small flock of Pine Grosbeaks, feeding on beargrass stems that were poking through an autumn snow on the south side of Mt. Rainier.
