The Grosbeaks were up early enjoying their sunflower seeds. Chilly morning with light dusting of snow staying on the ground in Rochester. Managed to get a few pics of my New Year's birds. Closed out 2012 with a Snowy Owl in Ocean Shores, next up on my life list for 2013 is a Great Horned Owl at Nisqually.
