Usually so many Evening! The black headed are kind of rare.Very interesting about the suet. I assumed they were big into black oil sunflower seed like Rose-breasted and Evening but maybe not! Or maybe yours are just weird.
But wow, what a grosbeak combo!! I never thought about being able to see an Evening Grosbeak and a Black-headed at the same place before. That's awesome!
That's funny, because out of all those species I see Blue Grosbeaks the most!
Really!? Pictures please!
Man, I still can't believe I've only ever seen them once in my entire life!! We live in range, but somehow it seems like they just don't exist here! Which is really sad because they're a big favorite of mine.
I love your photos! Have the robins fledged yet?It feels like I'm talking to myself on this thread! Oh well, here's some bird pictures, self! I was oriole hunting again.

Just depends on your area and habitat. It's crazy how bird vary from one neighborhood to another!Man, I still can't believe I've only ever seen them once in my entire life!!

Yes, they flew their nest a month ago or so. I tried to take a picture of one of them, but I didn't have my camera. When I came back, it was gone. It's been nice to be able to walk by their tree without worrying about Mama Robin dive-bombing you.
That is a nice benefit! The price we birdwatchers payYes, they flew their nest a month ago or so. I tried to take a picture of one of them, but I didn't have my camera. When I came back, it was gone.
