Hi Tweets,

Quick note to say that what I?m pretty sure was an Evening Grosbeak just made a brief appearance in my yard. By the time I got my camera and got up to a good picture-taking angle, it had flown off ? but a cooperative Rufous Hummingbird then showed up at my feeder, so the camera-hauling wasn?t entirely in vain. Now I?m working out on our covered deck, enjoying the lovely and all-too-rare sound and sweet scent of summer rain, hoping for the grosbeak to reappear.

Good birding to you,
Trileigh
