The Black-headed Grosbeak (Pheucticus melanocephalus) breeds across the western United States as well as south west Canada. Its loud and conspicuous song is a familiar sound to those living within its breeding areas. The first two shots here are of a male at Coyote Creek State Park, Mora Co., New Mexico, in June, 2007. These images were shot with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 600mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender. | |
