We had a trio of Evening grosbeaks at the feeders

Two females and a male.  Managed to get a craptastic photo of a couple of them:

   

The finch forecast called for a big irruption this year.  So far, we've seen the grosbeaks (only for 4 days, though), some siskins (not unusual) and a little herd of Red-breasted nuthatches (not unusual to see one or two, but there have been 5 or 6 of them out there since October!)

Anyone else seeing any 'exotics'?

Hi Hazel , hello all members.
Hope you all had a birdy thanksgiving ..
we had moved one of the tray feeders close
To the house. Having been blown
over by one of the storms.
I was so happy to see all the birds
Coming closer to the house.
Dogs not so happy with the squirrel ssss
They have to chase.
I was thrilled to see the white breasted nut
But even more thrilling was the
red breasted nut I didn’t have last year.
They move so fast it is hard yo count.

Hazel I hope we also get the grosbeak, they are beautiful. You are so lucky. I have my trypod set up. I was hoping to get cmass photo. Never happened.
Hope to get the camera set on the feeder today. Happy birding everyone, anyone counting? Ginny h

I love the Red-breasted nuthatches, too. They are so much fun to watch! Glad you're getting some good viewing with the feeder in the new spot. Good luck with the camera! Don't forget to post any pics you get!
