English: Black-&-Yellow Grosbeak Mycerobas icterioides in in Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh, India. It could have been much better but for ISO-1600 at 6.44 a.m. on 8/5/07 in the pitch dark of dense conifer & broad-leaved forest of Fual Pani (10000 ft.) in Himachal during Sar Pass Trek. We were fortunate to see this lovely bird at 5 to 6 points during the Sar Pass trek. It's call of 'pir-riu pir-riu pir-riu........' was really wonderful. It will sit at some distant canopy in the early mornings & late evenings & give some good views to all the trekkers from camps with Binocolors. Early morning a number of these birds (along with females which are quite dull in comparison) were seen feeding at ground at Bhandak Thaatch (8000 ft.). Only to fly away on the adjustant trees on approach.
