I tried to take some photos of the sunset from the road to the Experimental Farm in Summerland. The sunset wasn't great so I focused my attention on some Balsam root flowers. I liked the enhanced colour on the petals.

An evening Grosbeak in Atlantic Canada. I have rarely seen these around here and this was the first time I saw them whilst having my camera.
Evening Grosbeaks are very closely related to the Hawfinch seen in Europe (Coccothraustes coccothraustes).
The females of these finch species look quite similar.
Parkland County, Alberta.

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.
