I had not seen any birds of this species for years. We used to have them on the homestead every winter when I was a child. (Many moons ago 😛 )
They appeared one very foggy, rainy morning shortly before Christmas and stayed for much of the day; but have not returned since. They are a very beautifully colored bird. But as I recall ......... also very gregarious, tend to take over the feeders, and are not particularly tolerant of competing species.
There had been a rather large flock coming into the feeders at my sister-in-law's, for almost a month. But they have not been in for several day. She is only about five miles distance from me. I rather suspect that these are an irruptive population whose local feeding grounds may have been decimated by the drought and/or wildfires.

As a kid, my favorite CSX power were always the SD50s. It didn't matter if they were YN2, YN3 or Conrail blue, the big EMDs just looked mean and sounded powerful. On a particularly nice September evening in 2008, I was treated to a pair of YN2 SD50s slogging out of the Thornapple River valley with Toledo-Grand Rapids freight Q335 in tow.

I took this at8.30pm in the garden. Tonight is the Solstice so still light. It would have been better had it not been overcast!! These flowers are iridescent in the evening light.
I love how the the evening rays of the sun illuminates the Rock and the 3 stacks just before the sun goes down. And some wisps of fog also catch that last light and are set off against the solid wall of dark fog behind the entire scene.
BNSF 1953 West charges down the Lakes Sub. with the Rapids Local on the evening of Aug. 8, 2017. This pair of SD40-2s has been holding the Rapids Local assignment for quite sometime out of Superior.
I actually liked pinstriped whiteface BN SD40-2s back in the day, but don't care much for this "Greenface" 1953. I would have much rather had a pair of oranges or have the consist flipped, but had to take what I could get as there was very nice light south of Superior and this was the only train I could find moving towards the setting sun. Still nice to see the SD40-2 on the mainline, pulling a good sized train at mainline speeds.
With a late call time out of Superior, by the time the 1953 stops to do work at Cloquet the sun will have set. Not sure if has been running later lately or this was an unusual later departure.
