Gross Beak Who?

This little beauty has been showing up at the feeder the past few days and is been almost impossible to catch - I was inside the house behind the curtains... stealth mode. He was so quick - I'm grateful to have gotten this two shots off! He's a Grossbeak but not the orange ones we occasionally get! Thank you for all your kind comments - they are all appreciated!

Oh, I wonder how they got their name? ;-) This chap certainly has a big beak! Nicely captured.

@jamibann @simplygorgeous @gilbertwood @susie1205 @agedrunner @beachdog Thank you :-) @jamibann I wonder too - the male or possibly another type of Grossbeak shows this time of year too - and is similar to an Oriole. They kind of overlap when one leaves, the other comes in, but the Gross beaks don't seem to stay nearly as long.
