Evening Grosbeaks

Many birders crave the opportunity to add the Evening Grosbeak to their life list, or to see one from time to time. I have the good fortune to have them present in my yard every month of the year, and to host several breeding pairs in the neighborhood.

This stunningly beautiful large finch is a photographic temptation that I can't resist. My avian archives contain more superb photos of this species that any other. But each year, I take more photos. Here are a few of this year's "Evening Grosbeak Portraits":

Good Birding!!
