February and the color RED

In early February the male Cardinals colors are bold and bright.

He looks downright dashing in his black mask doesn’t he? lol!

But the female Cardinal is a beauty of her own!

Rare Bird Sighting Evening Grosbeak

Rare Sighting-Evening Grosbeak Male

 I was surprised to look out my window and see this large yellow, brown , black, white, bird at my feeders–and then there were TWO!

I hadn’t ever seen these birds before so I was very excited! I’ve read my Birds of Western NY Book over and over again and so I’m familiar with everything in that book and knew I was seeing something rare for my area.

Hurricane Sandy had just gone thru the area so I thought perhaps it was blown in!

The large bill reminded me of the Rose Breasted Grosbeak which we have frequently, so I just did a search under Grosbeak and sure enough I found my new birds!

These colorful creatures are called Evening Grosbeak and they are males by the looks of it!

Do you have any migratory birds that come to your feeders in winter where you live?
