Hi All, Just a brief report of the first arrival this season of rose-breasted grosbeaks at our feeder, in spite of the fact that a pesky but powerful black bear attacks the feeder each night. I've resorted to taking the feeder inside at night. Any safe pro-bird and anti-bear remedies would be appreciated! Best birding.
