Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
A male grosbeak stands proudly on a branch in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, its colorful feathers a stark contrast to the snowy landscape.
Grosbeaks are known for their large, conical beaks and distinctive song, making them a favorite among birdwatchers.
As winter sets in, this grosbeak seems undaunted by the cold, its bright feathers a sign of the beauty that can be found even in the bleakest of seasons.
