Seeing an old friend - one of our first bird encounters growing up was having a group of this species invade the yard - only never to see them again for years. Swan Lake, BC.

When we stepped out of the car, we heard what at first sounded like 100 Great-crested Flycatchers in the distance. Upon closer inspection, we found a terrific flock of Evening Grosbeaks. Swan Lake, BC.

We were moving at a good clip when this guy was spotted. In order not to flush him we backed up a good ways past him, then approached to a reasonable distance gauging whether he was nervous. After a few pics we moved off without causing him fly. Near Benton Lake NWR, Montana.

I'm not sure how long Lou and I waited for this bird. He was calling for some time, and then through a pocket of very dense woods made a brief appearance. Striking bird. Wagonwheel Rd, east of Osoyoos, BC.
