Evening Grosbeaks!

Our yard has been inundated by Evening Grosbeaks the last 10 days or so. At first, we saw 2, then 4 and now we are seeing them by the dozens! 40, 50, 60+ all day long. They are on the feeders and in the trees and on the ground and still we can hear others calling from a block or two away. Tons of Evening Grosbeaks. This is the most we have ever hosted by far. Last year, we had a whopping total of 2 stop by the yard for a day. Very fun stuff!

Black-Headed Grosbeaks!!

We just had 2 male Black-Headed Gosbeaks come into the yard! It's the first time we have seen them this year. They are still in our Mountain Ash tree as I write this. I Hope they stay around this summer!
