Evening grosbeak.

Oct 27, 2022, just outside Rondeau Provincial Park.



Taken at the Magic Brook at friend David's stream.

We had 15 in our stream while I was out on my bike ride but they were seen by another birder who was checking the yard.

Coccothraustes vespertinus.

The Evening Grosbeak is a songbird without a song—that is, it does not seem to use any complex sounds to attract a mate or defend its territory. It does have a small repertoire of simple calls, including sweet, piercing notes and burry chirps.
