Dereila Nature Inn Home > Bird's Nest Lounge > Bird of the Month   September 2007 - Red Crossbill   Loxia curvirostra The Red Crossbill is a finch found in conifer and mixed forests across Canada and down through the western United States. It has a unique bill designed for prying open pine cones, which are its main diet. These birds will visit water dishes or bird baths for drinking because of the seeds that they consume. The female is more into the yellow shades rather than the red of the male.   If you have an idea for a bird of the month, we'd love to hear from you!   August 2007 << | >> October 2007   Bird of the Month archives         top Dereila Nature Inn Home > Bird's Nest Lounge > Bird of the Month
