Pine Grosbeak are one of my favotire birds, They live in altitu in the forest. Every few years, they come cown to where I live for a free lunch.
This species' life cycle revolves around pine trees, which aren't native to Cleveland County. However, a large stand of pines planted decades ago holds a few birds year-round They tend to stay high, so close shots don't often happen.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.

This is a set of Caledonian Pine at Glen Affric that never got loaded. I recall that we took a long paved road to reach this scenic glen and halfway there we passed a street sweeper truck. It seemed a bit out of place but fun to see there.

This Ladybird is found around pine trees. The photo is not very sharp as it was quite dark, however I think it's a good find.
This twenty-two spot Ladybird I found in Avon by grass and meadowland. Again sorry this is not a sharp photo.
The dietary requirements of Ladybirds are diverse but most species are quite specialist in their feeding habits . Many ladybirds are predatory, feeding on aphids(greenfly) or coccids (scale insects), but others feed on mildew(sixteen -spot, twenty two -spot and orange ladybirds) and two species feed on plants (Twenty four-spot and bryony ladybirds)
One of the larger more colorful birds of the north, the Pine Grosbeak use their large bills to feed on the seeds of the boreal forest.

Pine Siskin (Carduelis pinus) in a small urban park in north Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The bird was in the shaded area and quite low light, so fill flash was used on this subject.

Pine Siskins are finches but have a more narrow and a more pointed bill than the other species in this family. According to the Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta, Pine Siskins are abundant in general around the province. In the summer they are the most common bird seen in Banff and Jasper National Parks. They are considered a nomadic and irruptive species so they may be common in an area one year and gone the next.
Pine Pine Siskins are quite” tame" around humans, but can be really aggressive with other birds around feeding stations. Their natural foods include the seeds of conifers as well as deciduous tree seeds such as Birch and Alder and several weed species. They also eat insects and their larvae
I posted a Siskin shot a few days ago, but this image is much sharper because this one let me get a lot closer.

Pines are mostly monoecious, having the male and female cones on the same tree, though a few species are sub-dioecious, with individuals predominantly, but not wholly, single-sex. The male cones are small, typically 1–5 cm long, and only present for a short period (usually in spring, though autumn in a few pines), falling as soon as they have shed their pollen. The female cones take 1.5–3 years (depending on species) to mature after pollination, with actual fertilization delayed one year. At maturity the female cones are 3–60 cm long. Each cone has numerous spirally arranged scales, with two seeds on each fertile scale; the scales at the base and tip of the cone are small and sterile, without seeds.
