done recent shots with new OM1 ii camera #starlings at #Lodmoor NR #cormorants and juvenile #Ganet off #Portland Bill. #Crossbill near #Affpuddle
I heard the call & couldn’t say now if it Common or Scottish Crossbill (and didn’t record it). But, as they were seen in Anagach Woods, there is surely more than a 50/50 chance of them being Scottish… Any thoughts? #ukbirding #birds #scotland #highlandbirding #crossbill #lumpy
Saw the most Crossbills I have ever seen today, 15+, suspect more are there. This is the only pic that wasn’t rubbish. #lincsbirding #ukbirding #birds #crossbill

Vorig jaar rond deze tijd zag ik voor het eerst een Kruisbek, dit is het vrouwtje. Wonderschone vogel.

Crossbills at the snow eating frozen urine.
Two-barred Crossbill & Red #Crossbill males having a happy frozen-pee snack at Kainuu Finland!
Their daily main dish, #conifer seeds, is lacking salts, so they take forzen urine for a dessert to fix that!

Crossbills
A bonus treat for us, at the end of a crested tit workshop here in the Scottish Highlands.
Great to see these a bit lower down in the trees for once.

A crossbill at the top of a vertical thin spruce branch, looking to the left with a blue sky background. His head and breast are pink, giving way to streaked gray and white on his lower belly and back, with with white wingbars. His beak is crossed at the tip, allowing him to winkle seeds out of spruce cones. A winter visitor to Toronto from the boreal forests!

A stocky, medium-sized bird with a short, notched tail and an unusual, twisted bill is sitting on the ground on the entrance to a trailhead parking lot. The bird is orange, with some red tones

Continuing with the theme of birds named for their red plumage, but which are really more orange than red, here’s a male Red Crossbill at the Saint Regis Mountain trailhead, Franklin County, NY (24 August 2019). wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

I feel a bit like someone shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic, but perhaps these recent snow days bird photos will brighten
someone’s day.

Morning All 👋 Another first for me last week and not the best photo as so high up in a tree but my first time seeing a Crossbill ✅ 🦉 #birdingwales #ukbirding #naturephotography #BirdsSeenIn2025 #bluesky #birds #photography #ukwildlife #wildlife #crossbill
Today the second picture of the Crossbill that turned out well.
A tiny moment later they were already gone.
As I read later, these also come in many different colors.

A #Crossbill #Loxiacurvirostra was sitting right at the top of the tree and I only noticed because the spruce cones fell on my head

A male white-winged crossbill in profile view at the very top of a conifer, looking to the left with a cone in his mouth. The backdrop to the photo is a soft blue sky. He's pinkish red on his chest, head and neck, while his flanks and wings are a streaky gray and white, with white wingbars. You can't see his crossed bills as they're holding a small cone.
The seeds in this cone must be extra good! White-winged Crossbill with the entire cone for take-out #birds #birding #crossbill #finch #Toronto
