A First Sighting at My Birdfeeder!

This is exciting for me. We've never had a Rose-breasted Grosbeak at our feeder before. He was here all day yesterday and this morning. (SE Pennsylvania) Isn't he a beautiful bird?

@hayseed00  Baltimore Orioles, I'm guessing? I've only ever had one, about 2 years ago on a Sunday morning. They are gorgeous!

We get many Grosbeaks at our feeders. Haven't spotted any yet. We are also ready for the Hummers.

@Group 5 minus 1 It's so great you get to enjoy them every year! They certainly are voracious eaters!

 

ETA: Forgot to ask what kind of Grosbeaks you get.

Re: A First Sighting at My Birdfeeder!

I haven't seen any here yet this year. I first saw them at my feeder back in 2011 after we lost power for a week due to the big tornado outbreak.  lWe spent a lot of time on the deck.  I've seen them every year since around the same time.  The outbreak was April 25 - 28, so it's about time.  They're just passing through here.  I usually see them in the fall too for a few days.

What a beauty! I don't think I've seen one in person.

 

Wishing you many more sightings!
