Wednesday evening (7PM) I noticed an unusual bird at my new feeder.  I'm 
a "casual observer" and an extreme novice, and I thought it was a female 
cardinal (due to it's beak) but it was too bright in color.  Pulled out 
my book to see it was a Rose-breasted grosbeak.  The first time I have 
ever noticed it in my yard.
Do they mainly migrate through, or are they regulars in East TN?

I live in Knox County, near the Weisgarber post office in Amherst area.
