Evening Grosbeak - Langley I had been searching for these finches for months for my year list. I stalked them from eBird where they were posted 25-20 blocks up the hill from my house, I went to the north shore to try my luck. Everything turned up a big donut hole. My fantastic family was in town and show up to the house. The 10 of us head to the deck and proceed to have a good time. One thing you need to know about this family is we have some very loud voices and we are not afraid to use them. All of a sudden a flash of yellow hits the feeder. I know what it is by the white contrasting with the black and yellow, but I don't believe it. I have had this feeder there for 10 years and not one of these beauties visits..... ever. I yell/whisper for everyone to be quiet, like a mad man of course, and slink off the deck to get my camera. Everyone is still looking at me like I have dropped a marble or two. I finally get the camera on the pair and this is the result. The family finally decided after 15 minutes they didn't find the birds as interesting as I did and went on with the boisterous conversation. The pair hung around for the next 2 hours only heading to the tree if an arm flung up from out of the crowd. The strangest thing, I haven't seen them back since that day. So thanks are given to my very vocal family. You are welcome on my deck anytime.   Michael Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
