    Eighteen-Years Ago Today. World Lift List #57. Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.

    Red Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) on top of a pine tree. Apparently, the “crossed bill” at the front of its beak helps the bird remove seeds from conifer cones. The females are yellow (or green) and the males are red. This female Red Crossbill was viewed during a morning visit to Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. Additional images of both male and female Red Crossbills are available in my PhotoShelter Gallery.
