I am over-run with young Black-headed Grosbeaks.

They've all fledged and are hanging out together.

I cannot tell the adult females from the kids.

Many of the adult male Black-headed Grosbeaks have already headed south.

I only see one or two instead of six of seven.

The Red Elderberry is a huge attraction.  The Grosbeaks consume the berries long before they ever ripen.
