Hi Patricia:

I moved to Springhill at the end of February and ever since I've been here I
have had about 10-50 (varies everyday) Evening Grosbeaks at my feeders.
They have been here everyday like clockwork and haven't missed a single day
since I've been here.

Cheers,
Cindy

Subject: [NatureNS] Evening Grosbeaks?

Hi there,

	A friend in East Gore phoned me today to ask if there have been any 
reports this year about the status of Evening Grosbeaks.  (I know that many 
of us used to see large flocks back in the 70's, but they have been more 
localized for several decades.  I'm not asking about that.)

	In her area, she regularly hosts a small number at her feeders in
the 
winter, and then in mid-March a great many arrive (50-100) and throng her 
feeders for a couple of weeks before they disperse.  This pattern, which 
she has observed for years, didn't happen this year.  She has seen only 
three so far this year, two in January for a few days, and a single bird in 
March, for one day.

	Is anyone seeing Evening Grosbeaks in expected numbers this year?
Has 
anyone detected a recent change?

	Cheers,

	Patricia L. Chalmers
	Halifax
