I was watching the feeders last Saturday as the local EVENING GROSBEAK flock
made it's second or third visit of the day when I noticed what I thought
were three HOUSE FINCHES feeding on the ground below. Then two Grosbeaks
joined them and I could see them almost side by side at about 75 feet.
They looked to be the same size in a rufous colored head, breast and down to
the shoulders. (I know some of you are shuddering at the terms but I have
yet to learn the parts of a bird, sorry) I reached for Sibley and the best
match I could make was PINE GROSBEAK; two males and one female. Is this
even reasonable in rural Monroe, WA?
