Re: [Maine-birds] Pine Grosbeak-Windham

@Mark:  For most of the day yesterday, I had a single male Junco.  I could not find any others nearby.

I also had 3 pine grosbeaks in my crabapple briefly Sat afternoon - either all females unless the immatures are similarly plumaged.  Does any one know?

Like Mark, this is an unusual bird for my yard.

Subject: [Maine-birds] Pine Grosbeak-Newcastle

About a half hour ago while throwing the football with my son I heard an odd 2 note call from a bird flying fairly high and heading towards my feeding station. It landed in my tall spruce and started feeding on something on the tree (not cones). Grabbed my binocs and it was a single Pine Grosbeak. Been a long time since I have had one in my yard. I am surprised at the amount of single bird sightings I have had this fall of Pine and Evening Grosbeaks. I have always condidered them to be more of a flocking bird rather than solitary. Any thoughts out there ??
