Title: Giant sparrow like bird
Post by: Janet Tubb on May 13, 2017, 04:02:34 PM

This bird was the size of the Rose-breasted Grosbeak that was next to it on the feeder. I wonder why  :wink:

I already saw two males, thought they were a pair and wasn't thinking it might be the female.

This is a female Rose Breasted Grosbeak.
