Hi All,
Yesterday we had 5 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at the feeders , 3 males and 2
females. One male decided to bathe in the yard stream, and it was comical to
watch him.
He first had to choose the right spot. He would try one, then make a few hops
to try another. He then tried to get as much of himself under water as
possible, and that took some doing, considering that he was standing in the
shallow area. At one point he almost stood on his head. After he finished two
Carolina Chickadees came in take a turn.
Pictures of the whole event are located at

Also in the yard yesterday was a Yellow-throated Warbler, a Yellow Warbler and
a male American Redstart.
