Evening Grosbeaks
Today was a great success! After missing out on the Evening Grosbeaks seen at Assunpink Lake last weekend, I gave it another try this morning. When I got there, two other birders were looking but hadn't found anything yet. I began to walk around the area where they'd been seen, and heard a loud crunching noise. The sound turned out to be four Evening Grosbeaks, three females and one male, chomping on some sumac. After calling over the other birders, we all great long looks at the birds. The male in particular was such a gorgeous bird.
