"Jeffery" the Yellow Grosbeak was seen yesterday morning. Per the landowners, access will not be available (and gate closed/locked) this weekend. Access will be available on Monday. The homeowners welcome folks to come see him, preferably from noon until dark (with exceptions). To see the bird, text Shianne a day or two before your visit at 417-349-2317 and let her know what time and date you plan to come. Even the day of your visit is fine. While Shianne prefers afternoons, she can often be flexible. There is a $25/person donation fee via cash or Zelle/Venmo. Please keep a respectful distance from the bird and do not approach within 40 feet of the feeder area. The bird is very shy and will disappear into the trees when spooked, making him more difficult for everyone to see.Patty McLean

Jeffrey is very shy and will disappear into the trees when spooked, making him more difficult to see.We don't know how long he will continue here, and he has apparently found another food source, so isn'tat the feeder as often as previously. I will update daily as to his ongoing presence.Good luck, all! Patty
