Saw a male and his harem, last Friday afternoon, in Douglastown. They were dining on a flowering crab tree. Couldn’t ever remember seeing the male before (reddish-orange head & back, grey beige under and out to tail). What a Beautiful color! The female a grey / greenish yellow,with two black bars on her wings. Searched the Internet , plus several books, Bingo –in very old book belonging to a lady in Black River—-Pine Gross Beaks. Took some pictures not too clear, but the male color is plain to see.
