Male evening grossbeak

On The Point,  Mark Faherty, naturalist at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, joins our host Mindy Todd to discuss winter birds. From the subtleties of female sparrows, to the huge flocks of sea ducks that can be seen this month commuting between bays and beaches, and preparations for the upcoming Chrismas bird counts.  A "winter finch invasion" is currently happening in our region, and local birders have been seeing more evening grossbeaks than in many years. Mark describes how to spot them and attract them to your feeder.
