Pine grosbeaks are the largest of the northern finches.  They seem quite tame and do not immediately take flight when startled which can make them a fun bird to search for while bird watching. 

They are especially beautiful in the winter time when the bright red coloring of the males is nicely offset by the white snow.  They also gather together in large flocks which again, make them fun to watch.
Pine Grosbeaks can be found in Canada and the Northern States of the U.S. year round.  Unlike most birds, they are most commonly seen during the winter months when their bright foliage stands out well in the tops of pine and spruce trees.  
They can also be found in the northern forests of Europe and Russia.
