Straggler in a strange land

Rose-breasted Grosbeaks migrate through our area in spring, usually in the month of April.

Males, like the one in the above photo, come in first with females showing up a week or so afterwards. The last one that stopped at our feeder was in early May. And we thought, well, that’s it for the spring migration crew.

But then just this past week, a female showed up to our complete surprise. Was she blown off course or is she just a slowpoke (like our Kid1)? We really wanted to know.

But all she said in reply was, “Kiss my avian *ss.”

So rude! Have you seen any unusual birds lately? (I can’t seem to find the “allow comment” option…again…so I will just have to read your mind.)
