White-winged Crossbill male

White-winged Crossbill male
At least 10 of these beautiful White-winged Crossbills flew into a Spruce tree laden with cones, when we were in the parking lot at Carburn Park yesterday, 31 January 2013. The males are such a beautiful red. Mixed in with them were at least 10 of the less common Red Crossbills. These birds are always so far away, that I can't really tell if I'm photographing a White-winged or a Red Crossbill until I check my images.
