CROSSBILL THE CEOSSBILL.
Loxia curvirostra.
S its name denotes, the great specialty of this bird is the peculiar formation of its beak. At first sight it would appear to be unnatural and useless, but is in reality exactly fitted to the purpose of obtaining the food that Nature has assigned to the bird.

When young, the male birds are greenish-brown, with a tinge of olive, t...he whole being speckled with darker brown; they are, however, lighter upon the under parts ; but after the first moult a red tinge prevails, occasioned by the tipping of the feathers with that hue. The red is 142 FAMILIAR WILD BIRDS.
