Evening grosbeak .: CW69-4/28-1996E-PDF

"About 140 years ago, English-speaking settlers in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains came across a beautiful big-beaked bird that appeared mysteriously from somewhere in the distant west. They named it Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus is the scientific name used by ornithologists of all languages) in the mistaken belief that it came out of the woods to sing only after sundown. French-speakers named this bird more appropriately le gros-bec errant, the wandering grosbeak"--p. [2].
