One of the Canadian winter bird favourites is the Pine Grosbeak. These gorgeous reddish birds aren’t around for the show, but it’s so difficult not to miss their flashy red colours when they pay a visit to the feeder. The males, in particular, are flashy, whereas the females are brown with some yellowish tinge on their heads.

The photos above are from near Barrhead, AB, taken on December 29, 2017, using a Canon EOS XS with a Canon EF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto lens.
