Pine Grosbeaks-Norfolk

When we arrived about 10:30 AM today, we talked to David Babington who
told us the Pine Grosbeaks had been there but were now gone. We waited
15 minutes with no birds re-appearing; came back at 11:30 AM where we
spotted them in the top of an Oak tree to the left and back of the
Senior Housing Garage. They came to the Crab Apples in stages--first to
the tree on the opposite side of road from the Crab Apples, then to the
wire lines and finally to the Crab Apple trees. We left after a loud
truck scared them away but returned at noon. They were not on the Crab
Apple trees but we spotted them in the top of a Spruce, again to the
left and back of garage.
