QUESTION
Hi Everyone-
I saw a bird today at my ground feeder with a reddish orange breast and the wings were black with white running through them.? I'm not an expert birder like most of you so I wonder if anyone knows what bird this is.? Unfortunately I didn't have my camera handy.? I've never seen it before and mostly just get white crowned sparrows, dark eyed junkos, scrub jays and mourning doves at the feeder so I was surprised and happy to see him or her.
Thanks in advance!

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýNancy, the Black-Headed Grosbeaks are migrating through now so that is probably what you saw.? They do visit feeders.? Tom Cadle ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

That's it!? I just checked for a picture of the Black-Headed Grosbeak and that is definitely the bird I saw.? I will watch for more and hopefully get some pictures.?
Thanks so much Tom!
