The Week of the Grosbeaks

 It has been some week.  Last Sunday morning, 4/26/26, Mike saw a rose-breasted grosbeak outside our window--the first one we've seen in three years.  That was enough of a treat.  But by the end of the day we had seen ten more males and a female.  Now, by the end of the week, seven days later, we have seen 75 males and 11 females.  One time we had five males on the feeder at one time.  Never had anything like that happen in all these years of birdwatching.  It has been a wonderful and enjoyable week!
