The plot thickens -
1 & 2 Female Black-headed Grosbeak. The are common in this area but NOT common in my back yard. My daughter says that the male Rose-breasted and the female Black-headed originally showed up together yesterday. My bird book says that they will hybridize where their ranges overlap.
3 The male Rose-breasted again - he is much more furtive than the female. The weather is still trying to spit snow today, but there will be some good flying weather this weekend. I doubt he will be around next week.
4 Scaled quail, year round resident here. I thought I was done feeding birds for the season, but I am going to have to buy more bird seed!
