A friend in Aguilar had said she'd seen a Rose-breasted Grosbeak the other day,
so I was on the lookout. While casually watching out the window yesterday
(4/28), I noticed one of the birds amongst the pignacious (sp. correct)
blackbirds had white streaking. I grabbed the binocs to discover the FOS
Rose-breasted Grosbeak in my yard. I was all excited and noted the finding on
my little blog, though my own photos didn't turn out all that great.
Later, as I was leaving for work, also saw a FOS Lazuli Bunting! I always enjoy
'discovering' First of Season birds; this week has been fun! Got a couple
photos of that one, too. Nice!

1 Rose-breasted Grosbeak, 1 Lazuli Bunting, 3 Lesser Goldfinch, 11 American
