A male pine grosbeak in a spruce tree.

Not much shelter from the wind in there!
A couple more bird pictures from February.
Some days, we would get huge crowds of birds, all at once. They’d fly in and out, en masse.
When I was taking these, it was all redpolls and pine grosbeaks. There were so many, they seemed to have driven away the chickadees and blue jays. For a while, at least.
