And this fellow was another migrant who ate his fill for a couple of days, then flew off to more attractives climes. He is a black-headed grosbeak (you may see the resemblance to his cousin, the evening grosbeak, particularly around the mouth and eyes). The photo was taken in Shelton, Washington in early May of 2004.
