Tweets,

I saw a pair of Evening Grosbeaks in my backyard yesterday (in suburban
Seattle), and after dragging my wife and niece out to see such a beautiful
pair of birds I got to reading up on them (not that there's much in the
National Geographic field guide). Is it typical to find them in the lowlands
in the late spring?

Also, thanks to whoever arranged their visit! If you need to impress someone
with what you find so compelling about bird-ing/watching/looking/studying,
how about *birdstaring*, a pair of Evening Grosbeaks in your own yard will do
the trick.
