Black-headed Grosbeak

Published on February 14, 2019February 14, 2019 by RV John4 Comments

Pictures: I took these shots over the last few year when I can find these birds.

Solar: I have sold some of the left over solar stuff that I had, mostly the parts that I had no way of carrying if I left, solar panels and the batteries. I also sold the Solar controler. Now only the big item is left, which will be harder to sell because it is high dollar item, solar wise that is, and that is the 3500 watt Inverter/charger.

I am loving my system with the 1000 watts of solar panels, it works better with the extra solar!

Young Black-headed Grosbeak

Published on May 14, 2017May 14, 2017 by RV John7 Comments

Pictures: Here is a young Black-headed Grosbeak (I think it is a young bird because it’s head is kind of specked black). I had never notice the yellow on the belly before so maybe it is just on the young ones.
Update: No I was wrong the Adults have the yellow patch too, but not as bright.

As always, click on the image a couple of times for the big picture.

Exercise: We walked just over 2.75 miles this morning.

Weather: It is nice weather with the only exception is it being a little Windy. Over all it was great this weekend.
