It's grey and misting here, (we need rain very badly, so that's a good thing!) so it's not a good day for photos. Even up close I could not get the catchlight in the eyes.

The Black-headed Grosbeak seems to be doing okay. I gave it BOSS and picked a few blackberries. It ate berries unassisted as I was holding it, which I take as a good sign. It is more able to stay upright now, but still needs some time.

The rehab gal told me that these birds have a very good recovery rate, so things are looking good.

I think it's a young bird, as there's still some spots or stripes on the outer part of the breast.
