Grosbeaks, Buntings, Finches, & Sparrows
All visit feeders but none use nest boxes. Buntings prefer the security of nearby shrubbery. Song Sparrows are more likely to visit open platform feeders than other types.
The grosbeak was still present as of 3/22/2003 feeding regularly throughout the day, but most often between 7 and 8 am. Dave Remaley noted that the bird was last seen 4/22/03 and "had full adult colors at that time."
