Pinicola enucleator or Pine Grosbeak

This bird and about eight of his friends have been frequenting this bird feeder in Wasilla, Alaska. The bird books say that Pine Grosbeaks are uncommon in the Wasilla area all year. Several of the male Grosbeaks are even more colorful than this. They are robin-sized, only more stocky, with short, thick beaks.
