~Evening Grosbeak Landing~

Today Auri and I went out to my Mother-in-laws house and visited. Whenever I'm there I love to sit on her patio and watch the birds feed at her feeders. This Evening Grosbeak had been visiting their house today but unfortunately my picture doesn't do it justice. I waited and waited but he didn't comeback.
The Evening Grosbeak is a yellow-bodied, dusky-headed male has an imposing air thanks to his massive bill and fierce eyebrow stripe. The female is more subtly marked, with golden highlights on her soft gray plumage. This declining species is becoming uncommon, particularly in the eastern United States.
The bird on the right is a Gold Finch
