The Blue Grosbeaks have returned for a fourth year to the Honey Pot in Hadley with at least one male and a female seen together and building a nest. The male is a young one with just a little blue coming in. Mary initially found the young male and while I was there I also found a female with him and had saw apparently starting to work on a nest. This marks the fourth year the species has shown up in the area with this being at least the third year (and possibly the fourth) of breeding. The species was first noted in the area in July of
2019 when at least three individuals were present. Breeding was confirmed in
2020 with multiple birds around including some young. I originally had at least one in May of last year but then eventually turned up
a pair in June. Fledged young were seen later in the season.
