Pine Grosbeaks in the Backyard

Posted on 3 June 2019

Yesterday I posted some photos of a pair of Pine Grosbeaks that visited our yard. The grosbeaks stayed far away, and I wasn’t able to get good pictures, but they returned yesterday evening and provided great views, mainly of the male, and I was able to get better photos. Here they are!

The female grosbeak in a deciduous tree, unlike the name would suggest.

The male grosbeak displaying its beautiful colors while foraging for pollen and flowers.

The male posed wonderfully on a branch for several minutes, resting from foraging, and allowed me to get several good photos.
