Description
This photograph showcases a Red Crossbill. The closeup highlights the distinctive shape of its bill. Initially, a crossbill’s bill is wedge-like. However, as it matures and starts to pry seeds from conifers, the bill’s tips extend and intersect. This unique feature allows the bird to extract seeds from deep within the cones
