Nice! I have only seen them once (about a year ago ) in my yard. then again my "Yard" is 31 acres of forest. it was a bunch of Females and imm. males, no adult males? I have since seen some adult males outside of my yard and they are Beautiful! Keep the wonderful shots comming so that the rest of us can keep dreaming:lol:.

Thanks David. I started my feeders last September and kept them full all winter. Now I am seeing at least one new species per day and all winter I had a steady parade of nice birds right to my yard where I could shoot them from the comfort of my window. If more people began doing that, we could save a lot of gas and still get our shots. ;)

Hey Mitch......looks like they came your way in the state!!!

Great shots by the way. Looks like you also got the White-Crowned Sparrows by the looks of your avatar.

Thanks EVOL. They were here once, for a half hour and I haven't seen them since. I do hope they come back though. And yup, got a pair of White Crowned Sparrows. They have been here continually for 4 days now. Fattening up for the flight North I guess. They are quite tame now and seeing me doesn't bother them at all. Here's some pics of them. :)

Nice Grosbeaks Mitch;

I can hardly wait; I've heard then singing; but have yet to get out and find them...
The weekend's coming...

Thanks Downy, Bill and Sindri. Alas, these birds have not returned yet. I was hoping to see more of them.
