They're both lovely, but #1 stands out with the wing spread like that.

Wonderful shots of a very cool bird, like the nice light and wingstretch in the first one... I've had absolutely no luck finding one this year...:)

This is a first for me, as I have never before seen a Crossbill.
They are beautiful bird and you did a great job capturing them.
