I just returned from Kilowatt South, where the river is >80% frozen and not a single waterfowl was to be found. However, a solitary female Pine Grosbeak was a nice surprise. I first heard the bird calling and then found it perched atop the large bare maple(?) on Passumpsic Ave above the gated access road. I watched the bird for ~30 seconds and was fumbling with my iPhone to take a digiscope photo when it flew off towards Wilder village. I did not see it in the crab apple trees in front of the Wilder PO 15 minutes later.
