Rose Breasted Grosbeak is passing through, they will stay with us a few days. :D
He's enjoying black oil sunflower seeds at the feeder as I write this.

The Mama, she's beautiful, both are impressive at just under 8 inches long.
They have a delicate call, a light varied whistle and are a bit shy.

    I love them! I have them at my feeders from April until mid Summer. They bring their babies to the feeders too. :D

    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    birds come just below dogs in my list of "pointless over-rated animals"

    what use is a fucking pigeon?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Probably more use than a homing pigeon.

    I love seeing the babies. I have never seen a Grosbeak fledgling, my favorite are the woodpecker babies. The birdie parents are so busy with their young, dedicated. They often look so weary and pestered, kind of like us humans at times. Birds are amazing to me, I enjoy being a part of their world. :D

    That what you fear the most could meet you halfway
