Evening Grosbeak -Northern Michigan

I love this species. When I heard it calling in someone's backyard, I looked at my friend Scott and told him to knock on the person's front door. "Why do I have to knock? You knock!". Tap tap tap. A large, stern man carrying the largest pistol I've ever seen confidently opens the door. "Uh . . ." I stutter. "Uh I was wondering if you would mind if I took some photos of the birds at your backyard feeder?" "Of course! The name's Clyde. Come on back!". Clyde is a great guy and I've known him for years now.
