What a difference between these male and female rose breasted grosbeaks!

This was taken towards the middle of May, when the rose-breasted grosbeaks first started showing up.

From a single male and female pair, we now get whole bunches of them, visiting us.

This is another one of those birds local to our area that I’d never seen before until we moved back here.
