Pine Grosbeaks at Portland International Jetport

[Brendan]

A flock of about 20 Pine Grosbeaks was devouring fruit in trees along the right side of International Parkway just after I turned in from Congress Street around Noon today.  I parked up the street at the Hilton Garden Inn, walked back over to the pedestrian path on International Parkway, and got some great views of the birds in terrible light.  No bright red males unfortunately, all were either immature males or adult females.  For those who'd like to visit, please don't park illegally along any of the Jetport roads.  They've had serious trouble with Snowy Owl chasers in the past illegally parking, blocking access roads/gates, and trespassing.   Good birding.
