Unless I hear otherwise yours is the First Spring Arrival o= f the Rose-breasted Grosbeak this year! As you can see from the NSBS SFA tab= le this species has made its first appearance at different times during the p= ast four years with your sighting falling around the average. http://nsbirds= ociety.ca/library/resources/spring-first-arrivals=20 So far, it is fairly easy to keep track of the scattered overwintering RB Gr= osbeak in NS (very identifiable birds, usually patronizing feeding stations)= and thus be able to detect arriving birds in Spring. That may change in fut= ure if stayover numbers keep increasing.=20 Your feeders are a hotspot for first migrants it seems.
