Evening Grosbeak eating the Russian Olives at Wilson Spring Ponds in Nampa, Idaho
"A heavyset finch of northern coniferous forests, the Evening Grosbeak adds a splash of color to winter bird feeders every few years, when large flocks depart their northern breeding grounds en masse to seek food to the south. The yellow-bodied, dusky-headed male has an imposing air thanks to his massive bill and fierce eyebrow stripe"
Early evening!! The scene as I came across the bridge on my way home. The river Isle floods regularly!! The farmers do remove the sheep before it floods completely!!!
The pink and blue sky descends softly into the water while the man and his god (whoops, I mean dog!) are lost in their thoughts and their affection for each other.
Driving mountain roads near Queenstown can be challenging, but has its rewards: hese views of lake Hayes were spectacular.
Wir waren mit dem Auto unterwegs als ich die Sonnenstrahlen aus den Wolken so durchbrechen sah, was immer einen besonderen Reiz auf mich ausübt. Zum Glück saß nicht ich am Steuer, hatte meine Kamera griffbereit und die Frontscheibe war auch halbwegs sauber. 😉 Um den Effekt noch besser zur Geltung zu bringen, habe ich in der Nachbearbeitung an ein paar Schrauben gedreht …
We were travelling by car when I saw the sun's rays breaking through the clouds like this, which always has a special appeal for me. Luckily it wasn't me at the wheel, I had my camera to hand and the windscreen was reasonably clean. 😉 To bring out the effect even better, I adjusted a few screws in post-processing ...
Smile on Saturday: SKY
I've been away from Flickr for a little while as I've had difficulty recovering from some maintenance I had last Thursday at hospital. I'm now recovered though and I'll try and catch up when and where I can. Bear with.
I took the photo in the garden during the evening to catch the light and the title also reminded me of one of my very favourite songs - also called "In the evening" - which I used to dance to a lot in the early 80s in my clubbing days.
More from the evening shoot. We never did see George, a local man saw a large male further upriver...we are hopeful it was him.

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.
