Pine Grosbeak

We put up the bird feeder about two weeks ago and have seen the usual chickadees and nuthatches.  We have also had a partridge come by occasionally.  Yesterday this fellow showed up:

In spring the evening grosbeaks come by.  This is the first Pine Grosbeak that I can recall seeing although we are well within its winter range.

It was about -25C and he was fluffed up to about double his size to keep warm.
