Cool Visitor to feeder..

[brewmaster15]

These Birds breed in the woods near me every year, we rarely see them as they are a bit cautious but every once in a while we have one stop at the feeder for sunflower seeds.. Today a Rose Breasted Grosbeak family was at the Feeder. Couldn't get a good pic of the female but here is a Juvenile Male....

They're gorgeous, aren't they? We have them down my way. When I had feeders out I got a few from time to time, but my neighbor up the road has several feeders out and gets quite a few every year. I think that they're wary of feeders unless they see a bunch of other birds always around them.
