Evening grosbeak irruption marks historic Iowa winter move
A massive 1977 78 mega flight of evening grosbeaks south of their normal range is noted as Iowa’s last major winter visit. After a post 1990 decline the species is rare again, with a possible rebound linked to spruce budworm recovery. Observers document sightings into November and as far as Florida.
