Evening Grosbeaks Heading Our Way?

October 28 Email:

Hi Ric and the Muskegon Nature Club,
Ric, I thought you folks down in Muskegon may wish to know that "possibly" Evening Grosbeaks may make it down your way.  We again had some at our feeders this morning (10:00 a.m. Sunday October 28) for about 15 minutes!  This time there were 3 males and 2 females/juveniles.  If they stick around I'll let you know.

Regards,

Hi all!
Between 12:00 and 2:00 p.m. Saturday October 27 on our feeders we had these Evening Grosbeaks visit.  There appeared to be 5 females and 1 male.  Dave Dister thought they may be a migrating family and a few of the "females" may actually be juvenile males.  As you know,  they are an irregular rare migrant in our area.  Dave also said there hasn't been a report for this species in almost a decade.  Unfortunately, they did not show back up the remainder of the afternoon.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.
