Hello Tweeters,
About 2 weeks ago, I reported that we had about a dozen Evening Grosbeaks for about two weeks. Now two weeks later, that flock has grown to about 25 birds. They spend a large part of the day at our feeders. I know that on the Seattle Christmas count there was only one Evening Grosbeak reported. Our group heard and saw that lone bird at Discovery Park. I don't know if the Everett count had any. I haven't seen any other reports about the grosbeaks.
They are kinda like "Uncle Louie" at the holidays. Great to see when he shows up but you start to wonder if you can afford to feed him after a couple of weeks. Still, they are exciting to hear and see in the neighborhood.
