Evening grosbeak, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Nov 10, 2018.

Almost missed them, I was working on the computer and looked out the window and spotted them on a sunflower feeder.
Taken through a window.


Coccothraustes vespertinus
With their enormous bills, Evening Grosbeaks can crush seeds that are too large for Common Redpolls and Pine Siskins to open. These smaller birds often seek out the grosbeaks and glean the food scraps they leave behind.
