If they stick, more, and pictures too I hope, later.
As luck would have it, they timed their visit to coincide with the first day of the FeederWatch season.

Great sighting!
cool! now send a few of those beauties southwest please :)
I completely forgot about the Cornell feederwatch.. I tend to over extend myself with surveys though, so I think this year I'll just enjoy them instead of counting them.
My husband said he has heard evening grosbeaks in the trees around here, but apparently the neighbors' feeder is more attractive to them so far. I was home all weekend and didn't see or hear any.
Since that first sighting I've seen a flock of six evening grosbeaks several times--but they haven't been coming to the feeders, just hanging out for a while near the top of a nearby elm.
