Oh yes. Here, too.

Happy Thanksgiving, the Pine Grosbeak Irruption was very evident on Main Street in Bethel today as human throngs trooped in to the Bethel Foodliner for their last minute stuff.

There are 3 wonderful very persistent fruit crabapples right out front and I counted more than a dozen birds unconcernedly feeding around 11 AM this morning in spite of the hustle and bustle.

We also typically host a late February gang of Cedar and Bohemian Waxwings in these same trees.

Kudos to whomever chose these street-side tree replacements after the Bradford Pears didn't survive.
