Day 210: After having an abundance of Evening Grosbeaks early in the year, I had expected them to arrive en masse in late April, but to date, they have not showed up. That said, the Black-Headed Grosbeaks usually are the first Spring arrivals. I was encouraged yesterday when I spotted a solitary male at the feeder. He returned today, and while he was perched here, I caught another Grosbeak-colored blur out of the corner of my eye. The vanguard has arrived! It won't be long now before the feeders are filled with "porch parrots!"
