I won't do all the birds that come through here because that would never end. Peg had mentioned seeing grosbeaks and today for the first time this season I saw a male in the back. Later Tom and I were walking along the road and there was some bird warbling its little heart out. We couldn't spy it, but I came back and managed to locate the sound online. It turned out to be our friendly neighborhood Rose-breasted Grosbeak (or several), claiming territory or looking for a partner, no doubt. Click the arrow below to hear him sing.
Not really the prettiest of birds -- which of us is? --, but the males do bring a splash of color . The song is complex and lovely, but Tom thinks a little bit goes a long way.
BTW, isn't it amazing that you can go online and with just a few clicks track down a bird song? There is even an app for it, if you are into that sort of thing.
