All species are identified in this video, which is helpful to know what bird or critter you are watching. This is also a video to highlight the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks that migrate through Alabama int he Fall. We didn\\\\\\\'t see them much on their migration trip north, so this has been a pleasant surprise. I expected to see them for a few days as they made their rest stop. Instead, they have been here for nearly 4 weeks! I have changed the food mix to add more black oil sunflower seed which they seem to really enjoy to see how long I can keep them here while we enjoy them.
