1/13 - Kent, Kent Falls State Park, Rt. 7 just north of Kent -- PINE
GROSBEAKS continue in the crabapple trees at the north end of the
parking lot. Seen around 11:30 A.M. At least 10 females and 3 males.
They alternated feeding and flying off for about an hour, sharing the
trees with about half a dozen Robins and a similar number of Ceder
Waxwings (yes, we looked; no, no Bohemians among them). Still plenty
of fruit left in those trees so maybe they'll stick around.

have been coming to our feeders in flocks of  25 - 50 each day, this

them looked good for a Greater.  No hint of a  Hoary Redpoll in any of
the flocks.
