Male Black-headed Grosbeak or Pheucticus melanocephalus
I'm working on this years set of the Black-headed Grosbeaks. They're here for a short while so it becomes an intense time. They're so skittish........ Last year I worked in MF with a remote release. Very hit & miss. This year I'm trying to work through the makeshift blind I have. But getting them to show up at the right time of the day, in the right spot etc etc is a real pain. I'm trying to get them away from the feeder & that's not easy & get light. These are away from the feeder in natural light.....
