Uncut/unedited shots because she was gone before I could get the blinds up, much less the window open. Shot through miniblinds, glass, and a screen. So, forgive the IQ.

Straightening...lol. Every time I straighten the horizon, I hang the picture crooked.

Yes, looks like a female RB Grosbeak, which has a lighter-colored bill and usually less buffy chest than Black-headed Grosbeak (occurs further west except for occassional wandering birds).

I haven't seen her since. I'm hoping she lives in the woods behind my house (a nature preserve of sorts with creeks and a quarry) and not migrating through.

I also saw my first Indigo Bunting, but never got a shot of the cutie because I spooked it when I peeked out the window. He flew onto a different feeder and I ran downstairs with the camera. As I looked through that window, he had moved back up into the tree that could only be accessed from upstairs. I charged back up the stairs and, by then, he was gone. I've been waiting for him for three years and finally saw him.
