| Rose breasted grosbeak in the magnolia tree |
A few weeks ago, I saw a couple of jumbo "sparrows" at my feeders, and I wondered how they had grown so large during our long, harsh winter.
The answer came last week, when I noticed two beautiful rose breasted grosbeaks of similar size feeding just outside the dining room window. The jumbo sparrows were, I think, female grosbeaks, colored much like generic sparrows.

Turns out sister Marilyn had a similar experience and came to the same conclusion as I. This morning I was thrilled to see a couple of beautiful rose breasted grosbeaks in Marilyn's garden. They stayed long enough to pose for pictures
