Black-headed Grosbeak (Pheucticus melanocephalus)
I had to share because I don’t just love bugs. I really love birds too! This visitor and family have been a true delight to observe at our feeder. I’d been hearing a strange high-low whistle around our property and finally figured out this is the sound the baby makes when I watched the parent feeding it while it made this call and shook its wings. They’re not subtle! Listen to the two note call here ~
I believe the photos below are of the juvenile, dated August 7, 2019
