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.
