April 22

Through my Kitchen Window, Sugar Land Texas

Rose-breasted Grosbeak - not the best pic, but I didn't have the right lens for this quick shot.
I was surprised to see this Grosbeak visiting my feeder.
He is on his way up North to the northeastern United States and southeastern and central Canada,
after spending the Winter in forests and semiopen habitats in Central and South America.
Sometimes found in highlands to about 11,000 feet in Colombia.
He reminds me of my Mother in Pennsylvania, who had a Grosbeak family spend the summer in her yard
for many year.

Looking forward to their return! Wouldn't it be cool if I saw the same one?

The colors on the bird are beautiful. V

Nice catch! I've had a female rose-breasted for about a week. No sign of the boys yet! V
