Black-Headed Grosbeak

Black-Headed Grosbeak is a migratory bird, with nesting grounds from southwestern British Columbia, through the western half of the United States, into central Mexico. It occurs as a vagrant further south in Central America.

 

 

The grosbeak's song is a rich warble that is similar to that of an American Robin, but more fluent, faster, softer, sweeter, and mellow with rising and falling passages that make the song much longer than the robin's. The note is a sharp ik or eek. Both the male and female sing, but have different songs. Wikipedia

 

They sound beautiful, if you care to listen……
