Hi all,

As regards other postings of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, we have a couple of pairs
competing with Baltimore Orioles at our jelly feeders. They fly from our jelly
feeders to our seed feeder. Very well nourished!
As mentioned, we have many Orioles at the jelly feeders and very aggressive
(and defensive) Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at our nectar feeders.
And, because of recent barn reconstruction work here on Rainbow Farm, we now
have 2 barn swallow nests attached to the side of our house (under the eaves)
which are full of babies. The nests themselves are architectural works of
wonder (not to mention messy!) attached to vertical walls.

Best birding,

Jeff Virant
