I was excited by recent reports of Evening Grosbeaks in Western New York. It's a big area,
but I had hopes. We have never seen them on our property and haven't seen them for at least
25 years.

Today I took the day off and just as my wife and I were discussing these birds, a flock of 12
showed up! They only stayed for about 30 minutes off and on, but I hope they'll come back.
I got this shot through a window, so it's not great, but I'm happy anyway!
