I have immature ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAKS and parents here at my feeders in backyard!
Earlier this week I finally got to SEE two of the WOOD THRUSHES who regularly sing in my woods across the street, as well as the BROWN THRASHER who runs up and down the road/grassy-shoulder edge looking like a little Road Runner! And after not seeing any for many months after the harsh, cold winter with the iced-over Cayuga Lake, I have two CAROLINA WRENS in the yard and under the deck again! Donna L.

At first I thought it was a Rose-breasted, but the markings on its head were much brighter than those of a female Rose-breasted and, more to the point, there was a very noticeable orange-y wash on its breast. Has anyone else ever seen Black-headed Grosbeaks around here? A short while before that I had both a male Purple Finch and a male House Finch perched on the feeder demonstrating their differences in plumage. A male Goldfinch completed a very bright little group.
