We had a new visitor at the birdfeeders this morning. It's a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The squirrels kept chasing it away when they leaped up to get at the peanut wreath that I semi-filled yesterday but he came back again and again. I'd been noticing a larger than usual House Finch female but it turns out the female Rose-breasted Grosbeak looks like that. Cool! Then I saw a pair of Cowbirds but they were off before I got my hand on the camera. In the afternoon a Hairy Woodpecker came to the suet pellets but it, too, left before I got a picture. I snapped one of it on the back fence but it was just a gray blur, dang it. I hope they all come back again. I think maybe my tenants' feeders are attracting a different variety of birds. Yay!
Today's toss was a pink and white striped long-sleeved shirt with embroidered flamingos and rhinestones. Very flashy and I love it but it's huge on me now. *sigh* Someone else will love it, I'm sure.
The prompt today said that a relative shows up at your door at a very inopportune time. Do you let them in or tell them no? I made up a couple arguing about money when interfering Aunt Gloria shows up, barges in, and starts to referee the argument.

Yay - a new bird. And a pretty one too. Your backyard is definitely a pit stop for many aerial travelers. So glad you got that really good picture to share with us.
