New visitor to the backyard feeding station!

A new visitor to the back yard! I believe this new comer is the Rose breasted Grosbeak. This is the second new visitor in as many weeks to the gatherings.

All about birds says of the Rose breasted Crosbeak: ""Bursting with black, white, and rose-red, male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks are like an exclamation mark at your bird feeder or in your binoculars. Females and immatures are streaked brown and white with a bold face pattern and enormous bill. Look for these birds in forest edges and woodlands. Listen, too, for their distinctive voices. They sound like American Robins, but listen for an extra sweetness, as if the bird had operatic training; they also make a sharp chink like the squeak of a sneaker" (https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rose-breasted_Grosbeak/id).
