[va-bird] New backyard visitor - Herndon

We had a new visitor to our backyard in Herndon today. My wife saw a bird briefly this morning and knew it was one we hadn't seen in the yard before, but she didn't get a good enough look to identify it.

The bird returned this evening.  It was a very nice Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

The Mulberry tree in our yard has been attracting lots of brids in the last few days. Cedar Waxwings, Robins, and Gray Catbirds are among them:
