Pine Grosbeak - Maplewood Flats, BC
These large finches are a treat for us in the winter as they are not regular visitors. Most of the finch population has what they call irruptive migration. That is, they follow the food and can show up any time during the winter months and not be seen for a couple of years after. This group of four quiet finches were after the Pacific Crab Apples in Maplewood flats. The adult males are quite a bit more red.
