Hello all,

This afternoon I had my first EVENING GROSBEAK gathering at a feeder of the
fall, three days earlier than last year's 10/2 first arrival. Nice group of
9 birds, two males. Nice to have some back for another winter of fun after
two quiet weeks without the black-headed grosbeaks around, who left on 9/16.

Cheers,
