The Pyrrhuloxia (male) is probably one of my favorite species. The rich, red mask and throat as well as the bright yellow beak and its unique shape. All that will the mohawk effect, it all works for me.
I had not seen one in person prior to our time at the Santa Clara ranch in S. Texas and this handsome fella came to enjoy some of the black sunflower seeds.
