I, too, had female Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at the feeder today.  So I'm
looking for the male, and I'm being VERY careful on the deck
steps......that's where I fell this time last year and broke my shoulder.
 The male showed up the next day.....  Also saw 5 cedar waxwings in the top
of the ash tree this morning.
