The Black-headed Grosbeaks arrived today (or last night), 4/30/2011. I took some pictures this morning, but I was using a 2x extender at the time and there wasn't enough light so the pictures didn't come out too well. That's ok -- here's a picture I took a couple of years ago:
Black-headed grosbeaks are fruit-eaters except during the nesting season. During this time, they eat plenty of grasshoppers, too. But they love strawberry jam, and will spend a lot of time at your jam feeder if you put one up. See previous posts in this blog for a few jam feeders I've made over the past two years.
