I'm the one who started this string when a pair of Evening Grosbeaks arrived
at our birdfeeder on May 9th. Well, we only have two pair this year!!!
Quite a change from last year (I have a picture of about 30 in the
birdfeeder and on the ground below it and in the plum tree above it). At
least we're not having to put out 9 gallons of sunflower seed every day (only
6 gallons---a lot easier to bear!!).
