I was fortunate to see the yellow grosbeak at around 5:30pm today. He flew in for a few minutes to eat some seed put out on the ground to the left of the deck below the feeder. He limped when he needed to adjust his position, and often kept his right foot off of the ground. It does indeed appear to be injured. I wonder if this would normally prevent him from mating? Would the ladies view him as unfit? Not that there are any other yellow grosbeaks this far north!
