I saw a small flock (are they referenced as flocks?) of rose breasted grosbeaks grazing on an old railroad bed out behind my house. I have seen a pair in my garden every now and then, but never a flock. I estimated there was between 5 and 7 pairs. Usually, the grosbeaks are very skittish and difficult to picture. All of the other grosbeaks flew away, but this female stayed close and still for over a minute; enough time to adjust the lens through the thick underbrush, whack a couple of mosquitoes off my neck, and snap these pictures. Enjoy!
