Cardinalis sinuatus

Pyrrhuloxia

Schmalschnabelkardinal

The name "Pyrrhuloxia" is a combination of the genus names Pyrrhula (bullfinches) and Loxia (crossbills). Their roots mean "flame-colored" and "crooked," and aptly describe the reddish bird with the crooked bill. Female, Patagonia, Nature Reservation, Arizona, USA
