MA - more Fox Sparrows and an Evening Grosbeak

Evening Grosbeak (male) - Northfield Meadows, Franklin Co., MA. October 26th, 2018. 

Northfield just keeps on giving! Fox Sparrows at Northfield Meadows increased to five this morning and I went on to find a 'pocket' of seven White-crowned Sparrows until farming activity forced me to try my luck elsewhere. It really worked out when a calling male Evening Grosbeak flew in and landed just two meters in front of me. It certainly seemed odd to see an Evening Grosbeak in the middle of agricultural fields but I'll take it, quite happily.
