Pine Grosbeak

Pinicola enucleator

'Grosbeak' is half French: gros bec, 'thick beak.' Its scientific name calls it a 'pine-dweller' and an enucleator, 'one who takes out the kernel.'

Pinicola joins the Latin pinus, 'pine tree,' and colere, 'to live'; enucleator comes from enucleare, 'to remove the kernel.'
