Less than a week ago I wrote about the presence of the lovely Evening Grosbeaks here at the Aerie. At the time we had been hosts to a small flock of approximately a dozen of the yellow/black/white birds.
Well, they have obviously been networking with their friends. That small flock has grown to over three dozen birds as the weather has taken a turn for the worse. They swoop in several times a day and feast upon the two tray feeders for as long as neither I nor the cats (who have taken an avid interest in bird watching) disturb them. To see them fly in to the feeders from the poplars at head height due to the slope, can put one in mind of Alfred Hitchcock’s movie The Birds.
