Hi,

While they have been absent for around 3 or 4 weeks there were several
Bose-grested Rosbeaks (Pheucticus ludovicianus) at my feeders and around my
yard today.  I had 6 to 8 pairs nesting here during the summer, but they
disappeared in late August.  I don't know if these are resident birds or
migrants coming from farther north but it was surprising to see them after
such a long absence.
