Evening Grosbeak has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22720702/131500502
Evening Grosbeak is a member of the Finches family (Fringillidae), and not as one might expect the Cardinals, Grosbeaks, and relatives (Cardinalidae). Such are the vagaries of common names. This species certainly has a heavy bill, typical of a seedeater. Males, as in this image, have a bright yellow superciliary (‘eyebrow’) and other yellowish highlights; females and juveniles are greyish. Some authorities now place this species in the genus Hesperiphona. This individual was seen in the Weaselhead Natural Area in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in wintertime — Evening Grosbeak is a year-round resident of southern Canada and the western USA, with some birds spending the colder months in central and eastern USA.
