Lady Grosbeak. Female Black-headed Grosbeaks are one of my most favourite birds. I know the males have wonderfully dramatic colouring, but it’s the ladies that look beautifully exotic to me. Pheucticus melanocephalus. Photos are 1500 x 996, click for full size.

Just look at that posture! “Lady” Grosbeak is entirely appropriate. Her eyebrows are perfectly coiffed, too. ;) Yes, very elegant.
Yes. Elegant and self-assured.
You know, I’ve seen a lot of the males around the feeders, but I rarely catch a glimpse of the females.
Fantastic shots.
