This morning we have been having five rose-breasted grosbeaks. Four are
males, one of which is speckled with brown. (Two scarlet tanagers flitting
through the treetops and an indigo bunting just interrupted this memo.)
The link below will take you to the rose-breasted grosbeak mottled with
brown. We will appreciate hearing from anyone that has an explanation for
the color variation.
Thank you.

P. S. Just before dawn, a chuck-will's-widow was singing again, along with
the whip-poor-wills.
