Le parc national du Gros-Morne est un parc canadien, situé sur la côte occidentale de l'île de Terre-Neuve, dans la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador à environ 700 km à l'ouest de Saint-Jean. Il est nommé d'après le Gros Morne, le second plus haut sommet de l'île. D'une superficie de 1 805 km2, le parc est particulièrement réputé pour la richesse de sa géologie.
The red crossbill or common crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. Crossbills have distinctive mandibles, crossed at the tips, which enable them to extract seeds from conifer cones and other fruits. Adults are often brightly coloured, with red or orange males and green or yellow females, but there is wide variation in beak size and shape, and call types, leading to different classifications of variants, some of which have been named as subspecies.
