[Bristol-Birds] Rose-Breasted Grosbeak

We had a male Rose-Breasted  Grosbeak  at our  feeder this  morning.  
This  is the first time I have ever seen one.  BEAUTIFUL.  Just  
yesterday I remarked that  I would  love  to  see one and this morning 
here he was!  I had been jealous  of the other people  who were 
reporting  sightings  of  this  bird.

We  have decided (with Wallace's  help)  that  the hummingbird  we have 
  been seeing is  actually the male ruby throat  and not the 
black-chinned.  He  still shows  up as  black and not red  except  when 
he fluffs up his  feathers but it is definitely scarlett  and not 
violet color.   Maybe someday we will see the other one.
