Yesterday, out of the blue(no pun intended) we saw a male Blue Grosbeak in the birch tree in the front yard. He flew down to the sunflower feeder, paused a moment and then took flight across the yard where we lost site of him.

This is what the Cornell Bird website has to say about this sharp looking bird:

"A beautiful blue bird with silvery bill and chestnut wingbars, the Blue Grosbeak is an uncommon bird of shrubby habitats across the southern United States."

I have no idea why he stopped by, but I sure hope he will be back to visit!
