New Bird Feeder Set-Up Gets Feather's Up from Black-headed Grosbeak
Here is a photo of the new bird feeder set-up and of the black-headed grosbeak checking out the new feeder today! Since our bird feeder was so extraordinarily busy, we decided to hang a second one, and it just received a feather’s up approval from our little black-headed Grosbeak that is wintering with us. This fellow must be rare, because Cornell’s ornithology lab asked us to put it into the e-bird database, and when we did, it got flagged and they are double-checking our sighting, which I think is a very good thing, because it preserves the usefulness and integrity of the database.
