Good Afternoon, Evening Grosbeak
I was sitting in my parent's living room looking out the front window when I noticed something moving to my left in the bushes beside the house. I noticed a yellow and black bird, one I had never seen before and quickly grabbed my camera. I dared not go out the front door because they would spook, so I had to take pictures from the inside of my parent's house. They even noticed something was up as I crouched down beside the window to get a picture of them. Not the best quality picture but it'll have to do. Taken in Lewistown, MT.
The evening grosbeak is a large finch. In the past, it was treated in a genus of its own as ''Hesperiphona vespertina'', but is now usually placed in the same genus as the hawfinch of Eurasia.
