There are Seven Types of Grosbeaks
There are Seven Types of Grosbeaks , and I have photographed two of the seven. The male Evening Grosbeak returned today. They add a splash of color to winter bird feeders every few years, when large flocks depart their northern breeding grounds en masse to seek food to the south.
The yellow-bodied, dusky-headed male has an imposing air thanks to his massive bill and fierce eyebrow stripe. This declining species is becoming uncommon, particularly in the eastern United States. So I felt very lucky to see these two males come by to visit today.
And here is the Rose Breasted Grosbeak, I took this photo last year. I was so surprised to see this one. It was actually my first sighting of this colorful bird. What a difference between the two in color.
Have a Wonderful Weekend
