    I was surprised this guy let me get so close. They are usually pretty shy.

    I thought this was a female at 1st, but after consulting my Sibley book, it looks like this is what he calls a "1st winter male". The "winter" terminology sounds weird, but he lists the months as Aug-April. I believe he's eating Mexican Elderberries.

    Black-headed Grosbeak - Female

    This little lady showed up tonight at dinner time so I shot through the window to get her. I think we need some more food out there. We saw her mate in the field next to us earlier today, so I will be stalking him at the feeder.

    When the fully dressed male drops in, it's not just the seeds that scatter. Every year it's still a thrill to have a big male Black-headed Grosbeak pull in to the feeder. Shown here just a little larger than his up-to 8 1/2" length.

    A short sunlit period on a stormy day made a nice break for this guy and wonderful light for the photographer.

    Every year some common migrants come through our yard in Berkeley, California. Today this female Black-headed grosbeak stopped to tank up on some of the sunflower seeds offered at our feeder.

    What a treat it was to come home today from a fruitless 6 mile walk at Lake Murray and then to find this Adult Breeding Male Black-headed Grosbeak perched at one of my backyard feeders as soon as I walked in the front door.
