Subject:      Of grosbeaks and buntings

Hi All,

In the very few minutes alloted this weekend to gazing out into the back
yard in Tucker (Gwinnett County), I was rewarded on Saturday with a female
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak and an immature male? indigo bunting.  (Looked like
a male from the front, but the wings, rump and part of the tail were
brown?).  On Sunday, a male Rose-Breasted Grosbeak and 2 male indigo
buntings in full breeding plumage were on view.  Makes me wonder what I
missed the rest of the time!  Also had a very confused Downy woodpecker
trying his luck on the bloom stalk of lyre-leaf sage.

In addition, 2 male and 1 female Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks were sighted in
Brookhaven (Dekalb County) a few hours earlier on Sunday.

Can't wait to see what shows up next.
