Hmmm. We supposedly had evening Grosbeaks in Utah, and I don't remember them looking like this! I think these have a lot more white on them than I remember. I need to read up some more on them. These are also larger than what I remember in Utah. Thanks so much for the ID on them!
I'm glad to hear that they are friendly! You told me a while back that the Pine siskins were friendly, and you weren't kidding! I have to shoo them off the thistle socks to refill them. They are not at all afraid of me, and I'm enjoying being so close to them!
