Grosbeak

[Julie]

good morning,

  

I was lucky to see this beauty on May 7th.

Not since.

Was it passing thru?  Bird bullying scared away?

Still around, Better food elsewhere?

Out of guesses!

Enjoy today!

Hi Julie,

 Nice photo of a male Rose Breasted Grosbeak.  Most likely he just arrived and found your yard to stop and eat.  He may have rested in the area for the day and then moved on. Rose Breasted Grosbeaks do nest in our area, there's one nesting at Elsen's Hills. Actually, there's probably a few nesting there. Don't give up hope, they do migrate back and May stop at your feeder again.
