It is amazing to me that their eyes do not move, so they have to turn their head sideways to look at you. Soon the male is joined by four females. Not as colorful, but still a beauty.
The male and one female joins Cassin's finch and House finch females at the table.
The male leaves the feeder and four females, two on each side start fighting over the sunflower seeds. One gets knocked off the feeder by the agressive one.
In the meantime, Mr. Evening watches the show and knows soon instead of fighting for food, they will be fighting over him. Hopefully these will be some that nest in Island Park, just a few miles north of Rexburg.
Until they leave, I will enjoy the shows and the colors in my backyard.

Beautiful birds and very interesting description of their fighting over the food.
I just love these birds, your photos are beautiful. I wish I had some in my yard. Can you send some to Maryland.
What a wonderful post, Bill. Love the photos and your commentary. Hope things are good in your neck of the woods.
Great post! I love a good bird fight at the feeder. The evening grosbeaks are beautiful. I don't think we have them where I am.
Beautiful captures Bill. They are a lovely bird.
I love these birds, but what really impressed me this time is this cute house:)
Evening grosbeaks are so cool looking. Who else in the song bird world has a green beak?! Excellent captures!
Fabulous captures of the Evening Grosbeaks Bill!
Lovely birds, and a great setting for them.
I do not know this little beauty - but I am very facinated of colours. They are so nice and your pictures are excellent!

Beautiful bird!
What a great capture of the 'chick fight'. :)
Always a treat to visit here.
Hope you're having a great week.
Oh! I used to live in Arco and Moore but have been through Rexburg several times years ago! Wonderful birds! Wonderful blog!
Lovely grosbeaks! I don't tend to see that kind here, but who knows...maybe someday!
Bishop!!! How did I not know about your wonderful blogs? I'm so happy to have found them. I also seem to be catching the birding fever. My dad has been a birder his whole life and it's starting to rub off on me. On my bird feeder I have lots of Lazuli Bunting, which are so beautiful. I'm looking forward to following your blogs. Tell Brenda hello for me!
