White-winged Crossbill

This bird was a real highlight of my time in Algonquin Park last week. I had no real expectation of being able to get a decent image, as the small flocks mostly hang around the highway through the park or the Visitor Centre parking lot. Their need to eat small stones or sand to aid in the digestion of conifer seeds drives them down to some of the least attractive locations for photography. By luck I found them drawn to an alternative source of sand, where photographs became possible.
