Spring migration brings back the colorful Black-headed Grosbeaks, and they are now here in Oregon in good numbers. Their complex extended melodious songs will grab your attention almost always before they are seen. Although they have only been identified in the Dallas Retirement Village a half dozen times, they can easily be heard right now in good numbers along the Rickreall Creek Trail System and in the Dallas City Park. This male Black-headed Grosbeak was photographed last Friday, May 12th, at Huddleston Pond in Willamina.
Great photo! I love all colorful birds that have been showing up the last month.
