First Grosbeak of Spring. Vital signs.

This fella and his spouse visited yesterday. I was so excited! They are Red-Breasted Grosbeaks. I checked my records. In 2013 they appeared on May 11. In 2014 and 2015 they appeared on April 30. They must have a calendar.

Here is what the male looks like in my bird book.

Pretty bird!
