pine grosbeak

In addition to the barred owls, staff also treated a pine grosbeak and a Bohemian waxwing, songbird species that are typically found farther north in Vermont.

“I’m not sure if pine grosbeak are irruptive, but maybe that is part of the equation as they only show up in the valley like this once every 10 years.”

Quiet returning hawks cross the valleys, and the pine grosbeak hastens past.

The bluebird and pine grosbeak have it too, but their much larger, trembling wings seem far less nervous.

The pine grosbeaks from the north are the most destructive budders that come among us.
