Thank you Marg. Unless I hear otherwise yours is the  First Spring Arrival o=
f the Rose-breasted Grosbeak this year! As you can see from the NSBS SFA tab=
le this species has made its first appearance at different times during the p=
ast four years with your sighting falling around the average. http://nsbirds=
ociety.ca/library/resources/spring-first-arrivals=20
So far, it is fairly easy to keep track of the scattered overwintering RB Gr=
osbeak in NS (very identifiable birds, usually patronizing feeding stations)=
 and thus be able to detect arriving birds in Spring. That may change in fut=
ure if stayover numbers keep increasing.=20

Your feeders are a hotspot for first migrants it seems.
