Black-headed grosbeak (female)

Pheucticus melanocephalus

Notes:

Unfortunately she died shortly after of a severed spinal cord. This was a quick shot of the test to see if she could hold her neck up. The moment the camera flashed (to be used as a success photo), the little warrior couldn't fight any longer, and her head fell forward to never be lifted again. Made her as comfortable as possible for a quick flight to the Great Beyond. Bless her and what she brought to our Home, Earth.
