First-Year? Male Red-Breasted Grosbeak - west Centennial, Arapahoe County

[kevyg...@aol.com]

Hello Fellow Birders,

   For a few weeks last winter I had a female Red-Breasted Grosbeak visiting my little townhouse yard near Holly & Arapahoe in west Centennial.  This little fellow (pictures attached) stopped by this morning for some suet & peanuts.  I'm thinking he's a first-year bird because of the brown in the wings and tail, but if anybody has a more knowledgeable perspective I'd like to hear it.  Thanks!

Keep Smilin',
