Red Crossbill At McKenzie Pass

"A stocky finch of mature coniferous forests, the Red Crossbill is dependent on the seed cones that are its main food. Its peculiar bill allows it access to the seeds, and it will breed whenever it finds areas with an abundance of cones. It may wander widely between years to find a good cone crop." (The Cornell Lab of Orthinology)

Great find! I've never seen one. It's so odd how their bill crosses. I wonder what advantage that is?
