Hi folks, The male Rose-breasted Grosbeak returned to a feeder in on Grinnell Rd. in Glen Helen again this morning. A staffperson snapped some photos while it ate sunflower seeds. I'll try to load a pic on our web page, in case anyone is interested in seeing. There is no question that this is an adult male RBG. Anyone know of the typical/late departure dates for this species? -Nick ------------------------------------ Nick Boutis, Executive Director Glen Helen Ecology Institute 405 Corry St. Yellow Springs, OH 45387 [log in to unmask] 937-769-1908 Support the Glen!
