| Loss of Newfoundland wolf, decline of Newfoundland marten and red crossbill. |
| A Maine hunter was once shooting moose in the middle of January, when he came upon the nest of a crossbill, with the bird sitting. |
| The common crossbill has a curved beak to extract pine nuts from the pine cones. |
| Among the species which thus modify their habits are the red crossbill, the redpoll, the Lapland longspur, and the snowy owl. |
| The crossbill troubles itself but little about the other inhabitants of the woods, and is said to be almost fearless of man. |
| Birdwatchers come to Scotland to spot golden and sea eagles, the rare and large-billed Scottish crossbill, and the rare capercaillie. |
