Baby Huey Birds

Black headed grosbeaks have discovered the buffet in our backyard -- I saw my first on on Saturday morning, and three this evening. Grosbeaks are the Baby Hueys of the finchy bird world compared to our usual house finches, house sparrows, goldfinches and pine siskins -- they're huge! And really cute. I hope they stick around.

Cloudy morning -- good
Friends help batter berry vines
Sunny afternoon
