Red-breasted Merganser/ Rose-breasted Grosbeaks



Last Sun., 5/13, on the Jordan Lake spring count, I saw a female Red-breasted 
Merganser, at very close range, at the fishing access on Big Woods Rd. She 
was swimming alone in a sheltered inlet, with a few people fishing very close 
by. This was the same spot that I saw 3 females in on 4/15.

At the feeders this AM., 5/16, had 1 male and 1 female Rose-breasted 
Grosbeak.  Usually see them on migration, briefly in spring with more lengthy 
stopovers in fall.  These were the first that I've seen in the yard this 
spring, fairly late for them I think.
