Our feeders, in particular the tubular ones with black oil sunflower seed,
served an "al fresco" supper to a gorgeous male rose-breasted grosbeak for
about 15 minutes, or so, beginning at 6:15pm Thursday evening 28 April '11.
The guest was bedecked in all of his multicolored mate seeking finery and put
all the other dining notables to shame that evening. It is a real bummer that
he was just passing through though. He really lit up the back yard for the
little time he was here. However, neither my sweetie nor I ever did see any
sign of a female. We had seen only one other grosbeak visit in recent years
here in the far northern limits of Kilmarnock and that was some three years ago
when a pair of them showed up for about a day's rest, presumably on their way
north. Mark F.
