Title: Backyard returnee....
Post by: gary yankech on May 10, 2013, 12:09:32 PM
Today, in the rain,  a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak visited feeders in my tiny backyard. Except for last year, this is now three years this beautiful bird has stopped by. It just made my day a little sunnier!!


....at one point, all at the same time, I had the grosbeak, a Male N. Cardinal, three bright yellow finches and, first for my backyard, an Eastern Bluebird briefly landed one the back fence. Lots of colour for a dreary rainy day!


.....Ironically, I live on Grosbeak Crescent!
