Two males and one female black-headed Grosbeaks arrived at our feeder in Snohomish last week. They usually show up mid to late afternoon.

black-headed grosbeaks have discovered my seed feeder here in the last week,
too. i always enjoy watching that beautiful flash of colour flying from my
forest into the feeder area...

last year, i had two adults and two juveniles most of the summer. i hope i
get at least that many this year...
