Joe, I see this is another female that does not make it easy to ID. A whole lot of difference.

Great shot. I had the male in my backyard, but only for a short moment. I have to find out what food they like.
They seem to like peanuts without shells. Its been my experience that they don't stick around for a long time.

Been using the A6400 with a flash to keep the ISO low and a battery grip to make up for the short battery life. Add a good lens, some post processing and I think it keeps up with the big guys.
Lady grosbeak is so pretty...that's a gorgeous shot, joe!

They will definitely consume black oil sunflower seeds. Lotsa places sell them, including Lowe’s and Home Depot.

Its appears that my encounter with them lasted 2-3 days. Never really got a good image of the males.
