black-headed grosbeak

Wow! It was busy at the feeders today. In about 10 minutes, I saw several different species. A Northern Flicker came by for some suet, accompanied by several Chestnut-backed Chickadee after seed and peanuts. A Spotted Towhee stopped by for some seed, as did two Black-headed Grosbeaks and several Goldfinches. A Steller’s Jay made off with two unshelled peanuts and there was a rare appearance by a male Evening Grosbeak. To round it out, some juvenile (or possibly female) Red-winged Blackbirds stopped by.
