20110518 040 Rose-breasted Grosbeak.jpg

My Backyard

Three images of Mr. and Mrs. R-b Grosbeak taking a brief two week vacation in our back yard. There were actually three pair of Grosbeaks visiting our feeders this year. They are now gone again. This is the first time that I recall them at my feeders for this length of time. In the past, an isolated Grosbeak might come for a day visit.

Top Image: :"Maybe I should check out those feeders."


Male Grosbeak sitting on top of my Squirrel-proof feeder.


Female Grosbeak perched on the line supporting my feeders.
