Camera Critters #214

During a recent bike ride in the Dry Canyon area of Redmond, Oregon, I came upon a tree which was singing louder than any tree I had ever heard before.

After stopping and getting the camera ready, I realized the tree was full of Evening Grosbeaks.  There were adult males, females, juvenile males and females.  And they all were calling away.



After snapping a number of photos, I got on my bike and continued my ride.

I always like to see new birds in my yard…or my neighbor’s yard.  Last winter was a good year for new birds.  We had numerous Varied Thrushes and at one point, you could see seven different birds in varied places around the house.

One day while attempting to get images of the thrushes, I noticed a non-thrush in the tree next door.  Looking through my camera, I saw a new yard bird…an Evening Grosbeak.

I'm always looking for something new to image. And when that something appears in my backyard, I'm happy.

This Evening Grosbeak isn't the first one I have seen, but it is the first one I have gotten a decent photo of.
