Donna, what a gorgeous picture! Wonderful coloring on this beautiful bird. Best match I can find is a purple finch. The Purple Finch uses its big beak and tongue to crush seeds and extract the nut. They do a similar trick to get at nectar without eating an entire flower, and also to get to a seed buried inside a fleshy fruit. Thank you for sharing this beautiful picture and for joining the Beautiful Bird Challenge.
