My thanks to all who helped confirm the ID as a female rose breasted
grosbeak; I see clearly that is certainly what it is. I am quite
familiar with the males as I have had brief spring visits from them
before, but it never occurred to me to look for M/F differences -
another lesson learned!
Great to have Nature NS around for such ready welcome help!
With appreciation,
Eleanor Lindsay

Hi Eleanor
It is a fem. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. I had one the other day and it caught me by surprise- I had to get the book pout to be sure even though these birds spend all summer in my yard as they nest nearby.
Nice clear photos to ID.
cheers

My pictures are attached; if it's of any value in size estimation, the metal squares around the small bird feeder in the first two pictures are 1.5" in size.
