A male Black-headed Grosbeak was reportedly seen this morning at a feeder on

Went to Duluth on this very cold day. Went up to the house and the owner
said it was last seen at 1:10. I arrived at 2:20 and watched . Many siskens
and chickadees but no bird . My younger son (14 years old and not a birder)
said there was a brown bird in the trees to my right. I ignored him

Janet Riegle and I saw the Black-headed Grosbeak this morning about 8:30 and
again about 12:15. We saw it in both the roofed feeders. Robins,
White-winged Crossbills, and Cedar Waxwings galore, and the Common Grackle,
as well as the usual suspects.
Best, Laura Erickson
