    Re: Photo of grosbeak. Black-headed versus young rose-breasted

    I agree that it is a Black-headed Grosbeak, but I do not think it is a male.  There is, what I am fairly certain to be, a mating pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks that have visited the feeders in my back yard for the past two years.  You can see images of both of these birds, captured last spring, on my website at  www.billholsten.com.  Look in the album titled "Backyard Safari".  Johanna's Grosbeak is a dead ringer for what I believe to be the female of my mating pair.
