[Maine-birds] Evening grosbeak fly-by

I was sitting on the porch talking with my son (granddaughter asleep in his lap), when 3 yellow birds flew down into the honeysuckle bush. Because of the foliage, I couldn't tell how big they were, so guessed they were Goldfinches since they've been around.  I expected to see them hit the feeders, but that didn't happen. When the three flew back into the maple tree (still foliage issues), I could tell at least one was an Evening grosbeak.  About 30 seconds later, the three flew off into the woods, not to be seen again. The whole episode lasted less than a minute-and-a-half.
