My Grosbeaks were the first to the feeder this morning. I think I figured out why I never see the females. This morning, one approached the feeder and the 3 males ran her off. She had to wait thill they were done and then eat. They make this funny little noise, almost like a hiss, when they are being assertive.
I think it's so funny. I've only seen Grosbeak for a short time so I really don't know the personality. He looks so sweet and timid. I think it's hysterical your stories indicate otherwise. Looks are deceiving. LOL!
