Evening Grosbeaks


The Evening Grosbeaks are back!  This is headline news, because this is way early for them to be seen in our area. In the past I have seen and photographed them here in Elkton in May.  In fact, according to eBird records, the earliest they have ever been reported in Douglas County is April 1st, with June being the peak time.  Today we saw them in two different locations during our bird walk around town, and then we have had a large number at our feeder this afternoon.
