Wild Bird Wed.rose breasted grosbeaks

The rose breasted grosbeak is a bird who migrates through Pa.in May on their way north to breed & then again in Sept.flying through to the south.You cannot miss their clink clink call as they even call in the dead of night.This year they arrived as usual in Sept.,but there are still a few yet here into Nov.,I`m guessing because the weather has been so warm still so there are alot of insects & berries left for them to linger a little longer.

The pictures I took last year was of one who came to the feeder alot, however none came to the feeder this year,instead chosing to hide in the grape arbor & in amongst the trees here in the woods .The pictures I was able to get this year are a little blurry & were taken during a hike in some farmlands where they were flying everywhere through the weeds.

Go here to link up with Stewart to view birds from around the world.

This field was full of the grosbeaks,I cropped & enlarged to show them close up

Rose Breasted Grosbeaks are here!

Yeah.....! I saw them & knew that they were here the past few days,but only was able to get their pictures today.They stop here twice a year,usually May & Sept. when they are migrating to breeding areas in the spring to the north & to the south for the winter.They feed on sunflower seeds & various tree seeds such as seeds from the box elder trees,pines,& they like all kinds of fruit & insects.
