With this morning’s snows came a small flock of
Evening Grosbeaks. At first the half a dozen birds simply sat in the tops of the poplars in front of the Aerie but, as they watched me shovel the deck and the chickadees, nuthatches and titmice visited the feeders, they too decided to sample the sunflower seeds.
Male Evening Grosbeak.
Female Evening Grosbeak.
This is the first time in a long time that Terry and I have seen this species and a first for the Aerie. Just last week, members of the Tiadaghton Audubon Society were wondering where these lovely birds have been.
