[Maine-birds] Pine Grosbeaks still in Waterville

The Pine Grosbeaks have been in the vicinity of Blue Jay Way and Penney Lane  (2 short cross streets off Pleasanthill Dr which is off Ridge Road) in Waterville every day since Nov 5th. They have ranged from a high of 24 to a low of 3 that I have seen any any one time. This morning I saw 4 (2 on each tree).
 
I have only seen 2 adult males in that time period, all the rest have been females.  They have just about stripped the crabapple trees they have been frequenting however, so I suspect they will be moving on soon.
