I just had a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak at my feeders. One was also here on 24 May, and two were here all day on 25 May. I have photos of all these individuals, and I'll be trying to figure out if today's bird is one that was here in May. My initial impression is that today's bird is a third individual.
Starting today, I've decided to measure syrup consumption from my hummingbird feeders over the next several days. From what I've read, a quart consumed per day indicates approximately 128 smallish hummingbirds.

At 6:45 this morning, I saw and photographed a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak at my feeders. Unfortunately, it left 15 minutes before Linda Andes-Georges Boulder Audubon group showed up. This is the first female here this year, but the fourth Rose-breasted here this year. The last male, a young one with some white streaking on its head, was here on the 4th and 5th.
