Wow, they are very beautiful. I've never seen one in person. Several years ago we had Rose-breasted Grosbeaks come through and stay in our yard for a couple of weeks, but we haven't seen them since

I know you watch your bird feeders. This morning, January 28,, 2012, I was looking out at the bare trees in the canyon behind the house and saw about a dozen birds that didn't look familiar at all. I tentatively identified them, and then a short time later they came right up to the feeder right outside the window where I was able to catch a few pictures. I attached one picture of them. They are called Evening Grosbeaks. It's been years since we've seen anything new at the feeder. Neat huh?
