Title: Rose-breasted Grosbeaks
Post by: Ally on May 06, 2018, 09:45:09 PM

You read it right, more than one! I was about to go out for dinner, I saw one at my feeder, by the time I got my camera out, there were two. Then four were fighting. I must be a great feeder hostess!

Thanks a lot Dave.  Someone said white crowned are rarer that's why I posted. I don't know, first one of the year.

They migrate south in winter and are heading back up north now, some stay all summer in our area , more common at this time of year, they don't have the white stripes in the fall so go unnoticed alot of time
