The first sighting this year of a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, on a not-bad day for March, was a cheerful event.
Cheerful event.

Attempted.
An American Goldfinch attempted to share a perch at the feeder with a House Finch. The House Finch didn’t budge, so the goldfinch had to leave and wait its turn.
Had the better angle.
Faye had the better angle to capture this Rose-breasted Grosbeak waiting to approach one of our feeders.
Incoming!
Although the buffet was crowded there was room for one more.

This photo aptly summarizes the past three weeks of activity at our bird feeder. You may recall that I am participating in Project Feeder Watch, a citizen science project.
For the first two weeks there was a stream of visitors – sparrows, juncos, a Red-breasted Nuthach, blue jays. Since then, few birds have come. I suspect it’s because the fruitful growing season resulted in a prolific supply of wild foods. Another factor is the absence of snow cover so far this season. Activity will probably pick up because it’s been colder than normal for most of the past week and it looks the first accumulating snowfall will happen this weekend.
