Pine Grosbeak

A handsome male Pine Grosbeak, seen in someone's garden at Harvie Heights, near Canmore, Kananaskis. A small group of us spent the day in the Sibbald, Harvie Heights and Exshaw areas in Kananaskis, mostly driving, but with the occasional short walk. While we were walking along a few roads in the wooded residential area of Harvie Heights, checking feeders for any birds, we came across several of these colourful Pine Grosbeaks. Taken on 20 January 2013, heavily cropped.
