Hello Mr Grosbeak what a big bill you have.
The Evening Grosbeaks have made an extended appearance this spring and we are enjoying seeing them in the trees nearby. Such a large finch (about 6.5-7.0″), that imposing beak and so darn colorful they really stand out compared to the other birds in the Finch family that typically hang out in our forests like the demure (5″) Pine Siskin and slightly larger (6″) Cassins Finch.

Grosbeaks have always been a favorite up north. Since moving to the ‘bayou’ (lol) I don’t think I have seen a single one.

We do agree with that. They are beautiful and so striking with that beak a bit greenish-yellow.
