This year the feeder seems more popular than ever. There's a very pretty House Finch that has come calling. And a beautiful bright Goldfinch is now a stopping by on most days.
Tuesday morning I glanced out the window to spot this handsome fellow
A search in the Merlin Bird ID app from Cornell revealed him to be a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak. A bird listed as "uncommon". What a wonderful surprise to have him at my little feeder!
As if that wasn't enough - when I went out to bring the dog in I heard a loud bird call from the trees across the street. I looked over just in time to see a pileated woodpecker swoop from one tree to another and then off into the woods.
It was quite a treat to see two such beautiful birds in one day!
