The pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) is a large finch, the only species in its genus, found in coniferous woods across Alaska, the western mountains of the United States, Canada, subarctic Fennoscandia and across the Palearctic to Siberia. It is a frugivore, especially in winter, and, as fruit crops vary from year to year, it is irruptive, moving long distances in search of food. The source does not describe its status in China.
