Good sighting, Bob. Similar latitude in CO has a Rose-breasted visiting a feeder. Might be something or just a coincidence.

Hello Birders,
Not sure how my sighting of a female Rose-breasted Grosbeak at my
sunflower seed feeder today (March 16, 2026) ranks with regards to early
migrants. I did not bother to grouse out early arrivals but felt
compelled to report this sighting. The cold temperatures brought in a
Purple Finch male yesterday - not a regular here.
