Summer Visitors

For the last few days I've been hearing the soft, rhythmic chorus of Evening Grosbeaks.  It was coming from the top of  tall trees in the neighborhood.  So I hoped they would come down to my backyard soon.

This morning they landed here while it was nice and sunny before the big rain shower.

"We are a big family and like to sing in chorus,
so you may hear us up in the tall tree."

"I'm the head of the family.  We
appreciate roasted sunflower seeds."
