I’ll try to keep this short. I keep bird feeders and baths year around. I live in Western Kentucky. I saw a very pretty bird last year and didn’t know what it was as I had not seen one before so I looked it up. It was a Rose breasted Grosbeak and shown to migrate and spend summer months north of our area. I only saw it once so that looked about right, it was just passing through. This spring there are at least six pairs that have moved in to stay. I was thrilled about this, at first. Now they have completely taken over the feeders. Even when not feeding they post a guard and keep other birds away. Is any one familiar with this bird and might have some advice about how I could get my other birds coming back? The only bird they don’t seem to bother are the hummingbirds. Any advice would be appreciated.
