After my Friday pre-season walkabout as I trudged back to camp for lunch I caught these guys at the spring. (There were two of them.) These are Pine Grosbeaks. They are about the size of a Robin and the largest of the northern Finches. Mainly a seed and fruit eater they are seen mostly in the northern climates down into the Rockies and can be found wintering as far south as Pennsylvania and Kansas. These two I saw weren't in a hurry which allowed me to get a few good pictures before the headed for the pines.
