The female Evening Grosbeak I have previously reported is still here. I heard her yesterday late in the morning and she showed up early this afternoon at the feeders. One interesting behavioral note: she won't tolerate Blue Jays on the feeder when she is there. Today, for the fourth time since she arrived, just about a month ago, I watched her chase Jays away from the feeder while she was feeding. They are the only others I've seen her chase off. She does not chase or try to intimidate the smaller birds such as Chickadees, Titmice, the various Sparrows and Downey Woodpeckers etc....
