Title: Evening grosbeaks in north Toronto
Post by: souci on May 10, 2014, 02:46:50 PM

This morning in my yard, I saw a large yellow bird that seems to be an Evening Grosbeak. The others posted for Toronto were all seen early, but it appears that we can get a second small wave mid-May. I wonder if anyone else has seen any at this time?

I haven't been birding for too long, but we haven't seen EB's in Toronto for a few years.  Could it have been a Baltimore Oriole?  They can appear similar at first glance.
