I just looked up a Google image of a rose breasted grosbeak, and it looks like a bird I saw this evening when SirKit and I were walking. It was about the size of the house wrens we have around, and it had a beautiful red head and throat that was more blue red than a robin’s breast which is more orange-red
Aren’t they beautiful birds? I was so excited to see it; we just mostly have the more common birds around here. The state bird of Missouri is the bluebird, and I’ve never seen one. The bluejays have started coming back after they were so decimated by the West Nile Virus, so that’s good.
