Great winter for seeing evening grosbeaks at the feeder.
I have just identified 2 male Evening Grosbeaks at our feeder. We live at 5000′ in Northeast CA. I have never seen these birds here, especially in winter with snow! It appears they only live on the eastern regions, but I am in the West, outside of Susanville, CA. They really stood out, and fought off large Stellar Jays at the feeder for the food! I feed nuts & berries & peanuts to the squirrels, but only the Stellar Jays compete with the Gray Squirrels. I am sure of the identification. It was amazing!! Julie Vogan
