FEMALE ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK

A few days ago I posted some pictures of the male Rose-breasted Grosbeak.  We knew the female would show up and indeed she has.  Except for the beak, she doesn’t look like the male Grosbeak at all.

TUESDAY FORECAST

The front that passed through on Sunday has stalled to our south.  A wave of low pressure will form along the front and move east, brushing us with cloudiness.

Tuesday was originally going to be sunny for much of the day, but tonight’s models are suggesting that considerable cloudiness moves in during the late morning and early afternoon.

The NAM-NEST and the HIRESW has dry air mix in, allowing brighter skies and maybe some sun to return again in the mid afternoon.  High temp 60.0º sd 1.6º.

Clouds move in during the evening ahead of rain on Wednesday.
