Rose-breasted Grosbeaks

This bird was at my house on May 3, 2008.
The following were seen at Patuxent River Park. This one was there on Saturday, May 10.
On Monday, May 12, he was still there with a lady friend! Think they'll stay?
These two males were seen last spring on April 28, 2007. The seed feeder was still close to the window---had not been replaced by the hummingbird feeders yet. In flight, there are rose patches under the male's wings.

Loretta, those are the most beautiful photos I have seen of the Grosbeak and I didn't know they had rose-colored underwings.
What a wonderful camera you have.
Thanks for sharing your beauties!
