Hi tweeters,

A female Evening Grosbeak showed up at my sunflower feeder yesterday
(27 March) evening. This is the first one I've seen since moving here
over a year ago. In Michigan, Colorado, and Utah, these are winter
birds; I don't remember seeing one at a feeder before when the weather
was this warm, nor do I remember seeing single birds instead of
feeder-emptying flocks of up to 50 birds. Is that not the case here
in the Northwest? Of course, we _are_ still getting frost in the
mornings.
