A Black-headed Grosbeak (a male in winter plumage) has reappeared at a feeder in Dunwoody, DeKalb Co, after an absence of over a week since it was last seen. Word was slow to get out about this very, very rare western visitor to Georgia. It was first seen in mid-January, but the homeowner did not realize for some days what he had. After some research, he took some photos and sent them to the owner of a bird store where he shops. The owner in turn sent them to a birder he knows who identified the bird and, eventually, word got to me. We have permission from the homeowners to visit their yard but they are concerned about the numbers of people who might show up, so if you want to go look for it email lambertsewell@mindspring.com or leave a message on the RBA phone number with your phone numberto arrange a visit through Jeff Sewell. The best time to look for it seems to be in the afternoon. Today it was seen only for 5 minutes at 3:30pm.
