[EBB Sightings] Fw: black headed grosbeak

I looked through the back door on Thursday when I got home, and there 
was a female (I think) Black-headed Grosbeak at the seed feeder. Before 
I could try to get a photo, it flew off. But then, a male flew in and 
also began to eat.

These guys don't come to the feeder on a regular basis. I saw one once 
in July and once in Aug. of 2005.
