A pair of Red Crossbill's escape the heat of the day to enjoy a cool drink from a shallow stream. In the background are Pine Siskins.
The red crossbill is a small passerine bird in the finch family fringillidae, also known as the common crossbill.
Crossbills have distinctive mandibles, crossed at the tips, which enable them to extract seeds from conifer cones and other fruits.
