Evening Grosbeak



At our old home, the Evening Grosbeak was a rare sight, but here we have been fortunate to have resident Grosbeaks, including the family as they learned to 'hunt' food at the feeder. They became quite brave this past year, but disappeared with the colder weather. We look forward to their return.

The photo at right shows underside pulmage colors.....
