24 Yes, that's a Black-headed Grosbeak in the snow in our yard January 16, 2012. It was here for a few weeks. Very unusual for Eugene, OR
25 This is the same BHGR in our yard on January 12, 2012 in Eugene, OR. I wasn't 100% sure if it was a female or a juv. Over the 2 weeks, I often saw it with a Varied Thrush or two. Very unususal for this time of year.

29 Adult female Black-headed Grosbeak at Malheur NWR headquarters on 24 May 2015. I don's see any apparent molt limits in this bird, so I think it is after second-year in age.
30 First-spring male Black-headed Grosbeak at Malheur NWR headquarters (May 2015). Note the extensive black and lack of white in the face pattern, along with the faded brown coverts and flight feathers. In this plumage, young males are quite similar in appearance to adult females.
31 This adult male Black-headed Grosbeak was at Malheur NWR headquarters on 22 May 2015. Note that it shows a fairly solid black face mask and no contrast in the flight and covert feathers, thus it is an after second-year bird, hatched 2013 or earlier.
32 If you look closely, you can see some paler orange and buff patches in the black mask of this bird and it clearly has older (brownish) flight feathers that are retained from juvenile plumage, thus this is a first-spring (hatched 2014) male Black-headed Grosbeak.
