Bec-croisé bifascié
Pour différencier ces espèces, il faut s'attarder à identifier certaines caractéristiques. Le Bec-croisé bifascié a des barres alaires blanches et le Bec-croisé des sapins n'en a pas. Par contre, le Durbec des sapins a également des barres alaires blanches mais son bec est conique. En plus, les femelles des becs-croisés n'ont pas de rouge comme les mâles… Ouille! Pas toujours facile de s'y retrouver!

Bravo! Thanks.

Bonjour Joseph,

Belle composition. On dirait presque que l'oiseau est pose sur un nuage quand on voit le "thumbmail". Bonne lumière et netteté. Belles couleurs naturelles également.
Bonne journée,
Mariki

Bonjour Joseph,
Excellent capture of a female White-winged Crossbill (Loxia leucoptera). The sharpness and POV on a lump of snow are superb, as the lighting and composition against a blue sky.
Beautiful job well done!
Merci,
Amicalement, Ivan

Hi Joseph,

An absolutely beautiful shot of this Crossbill on the white snow with the blue sky background. Colors and details are superb. The pose, face, wings, and plummage are all wonderful.

Woah! That is probably the pointiest beak I've ever seen on a non-carnivorous bird!! ;)
Beautiful image Joseph.
The clarity in this photo is impeccable! We can see so much detail in the feathers and I can almost feel the softness of its plumage.
Though there is a bit of OE on the snow around this Crossbill's feet, you have still exposed this photo superbly! The bird itself is at a perfect brightness.
Great shutter-speed that keeps the stationary parts razor-sharp but blurs the moving parts, the right foot, adding interest to the photo.
Natural colours that are very pretty.
Top work Joseph!
Well done,
Joe

Hi Joseph. First class picture of the Crossbill
You have capturd it with fine detail and rich colours. I like the pose on the snow.. well done TFS.
Nick..

salut Joseph

très belle photo, j'aimes ce mouvement des pattes
avec ce flocon de neige tombant, il y a une très belle lumière
dans l'ensemble de ton image avec une excellent densité
des couleurs de l'oiseau, j'aimes ce contraste qui se fait
des couleurs denses de l'oiseau avec les couleurs douces
du reste de l'image

la netteté et les détails du plumage de l'oiseau sont excellente
et le pov et la façon dont l'oiseau est cadré dans l'image superbe

Bonsoir Joseph, magnifique photo, félicitation! J'ai toujours vu ces oiseaux haut perché dans les épinettes et voilà que celui-ci est sur le sol, dans la neige. Très belle prise de vue, on voit bien les détails du bec-croisé, c'est très beau. J'aime la petite patte en mouvement. Merci!
