Bird of the Day - Evening Grosbeak

I was thrilled this last week to see a whole flock of evening grosbeaks.  My first couple of years on the Gunflint Trail, we had large irruptions of these beautiful birds, but they have been quite sparse since about 2003.  

Often I only see 2 - 6 of these birds over the course of a whole year.  This was a flock of about a half dozen individuals.  Hopefully, they will stay around for the winter!
