A couple of weeks ago I had a post about
a female Red-breasted Grosbeak,
and had indicated that I had not seen
any males this year.
Well look who is waiting to get a chance at the feeder!
This little Chipping Sparrow usually feeds on the ground
but apparently took a chance and flew up to the feeder,
and wasn't about to give up her spot.
Mr. Red-Breasted Grosbeak finally got
his chance to eat.
Is there anything good up there?
However, not everyone made him feel welcome--
Especially not this Downy woodpecker.
Finally he had his chance.
I have seen him a couple of times since.
This momma Robin has also been visiting my backyard lately.
Usually I see Robins in my front yard but not in the back.
Maybe she has a bunch of hungry mouths to feed
and decided to see why all the other birds like the backyard.

Beautiful pictures of all of your birds, Janice.... Glad the male Grosbeak visited your feeders...
Speaking of your feeders, have they worked in keeping the squirrels away? I hope so.
Hugs,
Betsy
Oh, what a beautiful bird!
Wow! Such good pictures. Thanks for sharing.
I especially like the last Grosbeak photo.
Glad the rose-breasted grosbeak is visiting you! They are eating me out of house and home - lol! That one photo of the downy woodpecker leering over the grosbeak made me laugh, very cute!
Hi Janice,
I love the Grosbeak looking up into the feeder.. this time of year there are so many different birds around, and especially baby birds yapping for food from their parents. Nice series of pictures..

That first picture of the grosbeak peeking made me giggle, heehee! He's very handsome with that striking red. I'm glad he's coming to see you once in a while, they're always a joy to watch :) Great pictures of mama robin too!
I love seeing all the different birds in your yard. I enjoy watching them through the window but I'm never quick enough to get good pictures. Thank you for sharing yours!
