Today, Tues Feb 18, Rich & Susan Boyd & myself made the trek up
to Eliz City, NC and saw the black-headed grosbeak. We arrived
before 8 am and the bird appeared at 9:20 am. Mrs Remaley said
the bird had visited the feeder at 7 am this morning. She said
the bird has settled in a little more recently and comes more
frequently in the morning--often showing up about every hour or so.
The bird hung around for only 3-4 minutes, finally picking a few seeds,
then left. Mrs Remaley said this was typical. The longest visit she
has recorded was around 15 minutes a few days ago. We didn't hang
around after the 9:20 visit this morning, so we can't speak as to
its possible repeat visits today.
We'd remind visitors to remain fairly quiet while the bird is
present--its hard to tell if he's still a little spooky or not.
Great bird and a gracious host!
Cheers-
