A first for me....Their beaks are crossed over to enable them to get at the seeds in the pine cones..Isn't nature marvellous..Taken with my old manual focus lens..It sure makes me think when taking pictures...R.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Think it's mesmerized by both you and your camera, Richie.

Wonderful one again!

Not seen one before - a good example of evolution with that beak.

Smiles ... nature is marvelous. Thank you for the wonderful explanation of the beak!

Keen eyes for spotting the little one. And kudos for manually focusing, while excited to capture this "first".

The bird is really camouflaged well, and I've never seen or heard of a beak like that before. Congratulations on catching this one!
