Here's the female of the species, prying open a cone with her offset mandibles, with tongue ready to lift out the seed. Lying on my belly in a snowbank. This lass, and several others, kept drifting closer to me so I kept having to scoot backwards to keep them beyond the minimum focusing distance.

Very nice.
I prefer bird photos with a bit of a setting and environment.
(Probably in the minority here with all the sharp photos against a blank colored bg.)
I really like the first one and this one is better.
Great shot.
