I thought I had seen all the new birds I could expect to see this year what with winter on the way, but today I actually saw two new species. One is a European Starling which was on his own. They usually travel in large flocks. I hope he moves on and doesn't tell his friends. They are aggressive, ugly and will clean your feeders out in a matter of hours.
But this beauty was wonderful to see. She is an Evening Grosbeak.
She sat on the branch, pretty as a picture, for quite a long time. Eventually she made her way down to the feeder to eat. Unfortunately, she didn't get to eat much because a Blue Jay came and chased her off.
I hope she has a male companion. I looked at some images online of male Evening Grosbeaks and they are gorgeous.
