| Cleaning up under a feeder, a small band of a much larger mob! |
I love these guys, and gals! Evening Grosbeaks. They remind me of clowns! They hang out in large flocks in the winter and eat A LOT of seed! Not shy, if there is seed on the porch, close to the house, they will come and get it. They are not intimated by other large birds. Generally amiable, they seem to share well with smaller birds. I watched several times today as one Varied Thrush or another tried to take an aggressive stance with them........one Thrush vs 8-12 Grosbeaks (talk about thinking much of oneself!). The Grosbeaks, who always stand with sentinels looking in different directions, barely looked up. "You want us to leave? You're kidding right?"
