The Yellow Grosbeak (Pheucticus chrysopeplus) occurs through parts of southern and western Mexico, southward into Guatemala. On rare occasions it has been known to show up in the extreme southwestern United States. The individual shown here was photographed digitally in March, 2003, in a clearing at El Triunfo, Chiapas, Mexico. The birds of Chiapas and Guatemala are much more orange than are the birds of western Mexico, which are more yellow, so the bird here is visually unlike the ones that might show up in the U.S. These shots were taken with a Canon D60 and EF 300mm F/4 L IS lens and 1.4X extender. |
