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.
……A shot from the bridge at Newport in Pembrokeshire at high tide on the River Nevern, a haven for waders and a variety of birdlife so this is a magnet for twitchers. Busy with family so I will catch up with your streams ASAP, have a great week. Alan:-)…….

Have a wonderful day, my friends !!! :D
Melanitis leda, the common evening brown, is a common species of butterfly found flying at dusk. The flight of this species is erratic. They are found in Africa, South Asia and South-east Asia extending to parts of Australia.
It was a rainy evening and we were far from a place we wanted to reach. When we were close to a viewing point we saw that sun was shining through a tiny crack in the clouds and the whole valley was filled with a golden light. We ran like the Fellowship of the Ring, jumping over tree roots and steps of a staircase to the viewing point. The whole shoot took around three minutes: unpack a camera, set up a tripod, choose and change a lens, compose a frame, focus and shoot. I had enough time to only take four frames with different exposures and the sun had gone.
BEST VIEWED LARGE IF POSSIBLE!!

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.
Sea voyage in the evening time with the last rays of the sun. This is the best way to organize a family boat trip. At sunset there will be a magnificent dinner, which will definitely be remembered for a long time and will leave the warmest impressions. Delicious dishes of national cuisine cooked on the grill.
Oh no, I made too many photos again, my whole day is over... ^.^

ODC --Friends
I was down at the riverside on the most beautiful summer evening I have experienced in a while. Temperature in the low 80s, no humidity, and a gentle northerly breeze drew many people down to the park to watch the sun set. A perfect setting for my second photo in Our Daily Challenge.
A beautifully glowing sunset over the ‘Atbara River’ (also known as the Red or Black Nile, likely due to its dark, muddy water and roaring current, especially at its highest peak).
This seasonal river rises in northeastern Ethiopia and travels about 800 kilometers to join the Nile at the city of Atbara (my hometown).
I took this photo from a relatively high walkway on a bridge that crosses the river, connecting the north and south banks.
