Mrs. Twisted Bill
Red Crossbill, female
"A fascinating finch of coniferous woodlands, the Red Crossbill forages on nutritious seeds in pine, hemlock, Douglas-fir, and spruce cones. Their specialized bills allow them to break into unopened cones, giving them an advantage over other finch species. Several types of Red Crossbill exist; they each have different calls, feed on particular conifer species, and might represent distinct species.” www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red_Crossbill/overview
This female is a type 4, feeding specifically on Douglas Fir cones.
