Evening Grosbeak

Evening Grosbeak
We were delighted to see this male Evening Grosbeak and his mate yesterday, when we called in at the Handfield's property, west of Millarville. They were sitting in a tree of tangled branches but also flew down to the feeder. I prefer a natural setting to a feeder, but I think my better shots of the female were taken when she was at the feeder. And now I need to go and get myself ready to go with a friend north west of the city to the Water Valley area. This is where Sandhill Cranes have been reported recently, as well as Great Gray Owls and even a Barred Owl (or was it a Boreal???) Keeping my fingers crossed for the Cranes in particular ... but you know how it works, LOL.

"The Evening Grosbeak is 18.5 cm long. The adult has a short black tail, black wings and a large pale bill. The adult male has a bright yellow forehead and body; its head is brown and there is a large white patch in the wing. The adult female is mainly olive-brown, greyer on the underparts and with white patches in the wings."
