Today's Picture:

Taken on March 8, 2014
This is a yellow Red Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra). You might want a little explanation to what I mean by that. The species is known as the Red Crossbill. This is because the male is red. Females such as this one are yellow. I used yellow as an adjective to describe the color of this Red Crossbill, which is why I called it a yellow Red Crosbill. As a bit of a side note, it is not common practice to capitalize species names. I like to do it myself, and I think this helps show the benefit of this approach.
