I had almost given up - my favorite part of spring is when the annual spring migration of the Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks comes through the area, which usually starts during the last week of April. Well, I've been expecting them since round April 26th, which is (within a day or two either way) when they normally first appear. And I've been waiting - and watching - and waiting - and looking - and nope, nada. Then this morning FINALLY the first traveler dropped in for a bite to eat. YouTube link is a video of it feeding at the bird feeder this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMT-wFMVv5E

  I was starting to think I was going to get bypassed this year - never happened before, but there's always a first time for everything.

    I'm not discriminating based on color!
