Wow..some unique design of that beak...great shot!

their main food is pine nuts the bill is specialized to pull nuts from pine cones and crack them to eat. But like many other birds they have also adapted themselves to seed feeders.

Once again..you and your cool birds. You must have a sign in the yard that reads, "All of the coolest birds land here." :o)

i don't discriminate and feed everything that show up. but was a bit mad last couple days as i had set out a variety of tomato planted in pots that i had grown and nurtured in the house by a picture window. was already getting some cherry tomatos from one and set them out the other night.
and a big doe and yearling showed up and ate the cherry tomatos and stripped the leaves from the plant. So i set out some replacement plants early this morning and 4 deer showed up not long after and pulled up and ate two of the plants.
