Two days ago two other males cam= e with the pair. Stella did not get a good enough look to see if the two ad= ditional males were young. Earlier this morning the adult male was at the f= eeder and flew over to perch on one side of our property. (This individual = sang while feeding!) Almost immediately another sang on the other side. (Th= e female sings occasionally but a very soft song). Later a young male came = to the feeder and spent some time feeding, unwary of us within 8-10 ft of i= t. The incubation period is said to be 11-14 days and the fledgling period = 9-13 days, thus the min/max 20-27 days. So between May 18-25 for eggs to be= laid. This species bonds on the breeding grounds so quite an early accompl= ishment for this pair. It is speculated they may have second broods so ther= e's certainly lots of time. --_000_BN3PR08MB1970AED8A70517CF7136515AFB7C0BN3PR08MB1970namp_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-= 1"> <style type=3D"text/css" style=3D"display:none;"> P {margin-top:0;margin-bo= ttom:0;} </style> </head> <body dir=3D"ltr"> <div style=3D"font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;= color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> We have had a pair of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks since quite some time but nev= er took note of when the female showed up.
