A lovely sunset looking over to The Isle Of Wight as two yachtsmen come in from an evening sail .

Evening Grosbeaks are very closely related to the Hawfinch seen in Europe (Coccothraustes coccothraustes).

The females of these finch species look quite similar.

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.

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.

The beautiful evening with autumn colors just before sunset.

One member of a large flock of evening grosbeaks remains perched on a mossy spruce limb.
