Just got a jingle from Gary Meszaros, who reports a male evening grosbeak at a feeder at the North Chagrin Reservation just a few minutes ago. Another good sign we'll be seeing these and other northern irruptive species this season. Let's not forget it's probably stress from food shortages that's driving these birds our way, so while it may be nice for folks who like to observe them, it's not good times for the birds.
