Jeffrey, our Yellow and Black visitor from Central America, has not been seen at the feeder for over a week, according to Shianne. They have cameras out front and have not seen him on any footage. He's obviously found another food source and recently quit coming to the feeders as frequently. What we don't currently know is whether he's still there or not. Shianne will let me know if she sees him again and, if so, I'll let folks know here and on Discord. We can only wish the best for this interesting bird who somehow found his way to a cattle farm south of Berryville, Arkansas. It's been fun hearing stories about seeing him ... and it's been such a treat for all of us who were so blessed to see him. Patty McLean
-------- Original message --------From: Patty McLean <plm108...> Date: 4/21/25 7:28 AM (GMT-06:00) To: <ARBIRD-L...> Subject: RE: Yellow Grosbeak (Berryville/Carroll County) The Yellow Grosbeak continues outside Berryville; however he's not coming to the feeders as frequently. If you go, keep an eye out for him in the cedar trees or the rocky streambed along the south side of the house. Access information:Birders are welcome between 10a and sunset. There is a $25 per person access fee (cash or Venmo/Zelle). To visit, please wait until a day or two before your visit (or even the day of) and text Shianne at 417-349-2317. Let her know what time and date you plan to come. She will give you her specific address at that time. If you choose 10a, please do not show up ahead of that time. If you went earlier and signed her book but didn't see the bird, she hopes you'll come back. Let her know and I suspect she'll work something favorable out for you.When there: Keep a respectful distance from the bird and do not approach within 40-50 feet of the feeder area. The bird is very shy and will disappear into the trees when spooked. Patty McLean
