             Amidst the purple finches eating the fruit of our mountain ash trees these last three days was a single female pine grosbeak.
       As well a flock of 25-30  of what must've been rusty blackbirds have been passing over...evenings to the swamp east northeast of my house and mornings they head to the point and marsh to the west southwest of my house. I wasn't sure what they were as they were flying high and only briefly past on the other three occasions,...but at about 7am today they touched down for 5-10 minutes to check on the birdseed scattered for the mourning doves and sparrows then flew off on their usual course. 
       The group was predominantly black with blue irridescent heads there were 7 or eight with duller brown plummage. All about 8" long....paler yellow (???)  iris...?...can anyone confirm my I.D.?
