Pine Grosbeaks inhabit open spruce, fir, and pine forests. Males are reddish pink and gray. Females and immatures are grayish with tints of reddish orange or yellow on the head and rump. They all have dark gray wings marked by 2 white wingbars. Unfortunately, they are seldom seen in Dutchess County, but you should have better luck finding this one.
