More Mostly Birds

Rose Breasted Grosbreak. It migrates in the winter to South America, Mexico, etc..and returns in April or May.  This is the first one we've ever seen here.  The males arrive first and then usually won't come to the feeders when the females (mostly brown) arrive a couple of weeks later.

Same as above except the last picture is of a different yellow finch-younger and less vibrant.

  1. I am a bird watcher, too, and these are amazing photos. We don't have the grosbeak but we do have the rest. I just saw a hummingbird at the feeder this past week. They seem to be early.
