Cloudy and threatening rain. We could use the moisture, it all seems to be going south of us this year.The birds always act like it's going to be their last meal when it's raining. So, since it rained last night and is threatening to rain again today, look who stopped in for a bite to eat.
You'll have to click on the picture twice to see them, but there are 3 Rose-breated Grosebeaks in the picture. A male and female on the cardinal feeder, and a female on the tower feeder. Grosebeaks love sunflowers and safflower, and they prefer to eat from trays like Cardinals. Of course the brilliant red, white, and black, Grosebeak is the male.
In the end, the sun broke through about 4Pm and that was the end of any hopes of getting more rain. The temp rose quickly once the sun came out and we ended up with a high of 68.
