Hello!
I have noticed that people all around me on here are having a lot of 
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak sightings.  I have recently moved and my feeders have 
only been up about a month.  I have hanging feeders, but I do not have any tray 
or ground feeders (raccoons ran off with them).  Anyone have suggestions on how 
I might be able to attract them?  I have a heavily wooded area that adjoins a 
large open field.  I currently have all my feeders on the edge of the treeline. 
 I have an excellent variety and abundance of birds, just no Grosbeaks.  

On a side note, I have Goldfinches, Cardinals, and Indigo Buntings that "hang 
together" and it is so beautiful to see those colors amongst each other like 
that!  WOW!

Any suggestions are welcome...Thanks!
