Pine Grosbeak ♂︎
Such a pretty winter finch, rosy red male pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) often just sits at the seed feeder, making other birds (chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, other grosbeaks,) hesitate before coming to the feeder.
They are never aggressive toward other birds, perhaps it is just their presence, or their size that makes other birds hesitate. Female grosbeaks however are not intimidated.
