Commentary:

The beautiful Rose-breasted grosbeaks stop by this time of year on their way to their breeding grounds up north and they chow down at the bird-feeders for a day or so before taking off again. I wasn't able to get much of a shot of them this time, but they'll be back in the fall. I hope you all having a delightful spring!
