I'm a very new birder (since last month) and also in Kingston...believe it or not, the Rose-breasted Grosebeak is a new lifer for me. After reading your post I decided to grab the camera and go for a drive, I stopped first at Walkers Brook on Bishop Mnt. Rd. where I saw my first RBG :) went to snap a shot but hadn't formatted my card and by the time I did he had already taken off...I drove around the corner onto Pleasant St. did a lil' pishing and out came another one along with many Common Yellow Throats, Chestnut sided's and Yellow Warblers. I continued on and stopped at Marshall Rd where it crosses Walkers Brook and saw another RBG and many more Warblers, Sparrows and such :) Thanks again for the post, it was really nice birding only a couple minutes from home.
