Rose breasted grosbeak Niwot

[elena]

Cobirders, yesterday mid morning I saw this female grosbeak in a juniper tree in my yard in Niwot. She stayed in the tree for about 15 minutes while I stayed in my car to not flush her before flying away. I have several photos from the iPhone, here is one. The feeders nearby were filled, and I was around the yard for much of the day but she did not return. This was a first yard bird (joining evening and black headed grosbeaks) and the earliest rose breasted grosbeak for me here. If she returns, birders are welcome to come by.
