My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Rare bird sighting

6 years ago

I don't know where to post this, but I had to post it somewhere. I just had a Rose-breasted Grosbeak visit the bird feeder in my garden. I have never seen this bird anywhere before.

This is what it looks like: https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/rose-breasted-grosbeak

Maybe it got caught up in some strange weather somewhere and it ended up here in Central Florida. Otherwise I have been getting lots of visits from Ruby-throated hummingbirds--and of course many other birds visit the bird feeder.
