first bird of the morning evening grosbeak

April 27: Early rising

Staying with friends who have Evening Grosbeaks coming to their bird feeders in the morning. I haven't seen Evening Grosbeaks in several years, so when I awoke early and heard them calling I got right up, even though I had planned to sleep longer. And by getting up early, I managed to catch a glimpse of the big fat golden egg of the moon setting behind the pines.

Fat moon setting

and calls of grosbeaks--

rewards for rising early.
