Black and Yellow Grosbeak

Grosbeaks are beautiful birds. Their unique thick beaks makes them stand out, even when they are perched far away . 


For me , spotting the endemic Black and Yellow Grosbeak was a very thrilling experience during the recently concluded tour of Explore Nandadevi National Park (http://www.itnatureclub.in)


Abhijeet and myself spent considerable amount of time, checking and rechecking the details. The photo clicked be wasn't very clear .However, as luck has it, I had a very clear picture of the female of the species which was out in the open very close to the tree on which the male was perched.

Such awesome sighting is what makes a tour very special and memorable.
