  1. Sure is a treat to see Evening Grosbeaks again after a long absence. They used to be prominent at feeders squabbling with each other over the sunflower seeds.

  2. Dear Tom, So sorry that you can’t go to your winter warmer climes but then you are making our winter birds gorgeous! Glad you are here.
