One of the most interesting things about these natural gifts from nature is that the Evening Grosbeak travels in flocks at times.  You’ll be amazed at the colorful blanket of yellow that swoops down on sunflowers when they’re hungry.  Flocks of this bird can wipe out many sunflower plants in minutes.

Evening Grosbeaks will readily visit your bird feeder during the winter months.  They often send their winters in urban areas in fact, especially if no major forests are nearby.  They don’t have a very unique song, though—they don’t seem to have developed one.

Not just for truckers and baseball teams anymore, baseball caps can be seen on men and women, old and young, athletes and couch potatoes. Chances are good that your local mall has at least one store devoted to them. Today’s baseball caps advertise products, tout favorite sports teams, and mention hobbies. They support for political parties, tell everyone you are The World’s Greatest Dad, and mention inside jokes. Baseball caps with military messages used to be just for military members or people who purchased from surplus stores.

But today a wide range of styles, logos, and messages are available for baseball cap fans who want to show their support for one branch of the military (Marines, Air Force, etc.), a particular military effort (Operation Iraqi freedom), or even a specific military subgroup (paratroopers, the 4th Infantry Division). You may not like taking orders, or you might have flunked out of boot camp. But you can still support the military by sporting a baseball cap with a branch name, logo, or specific pro-military message.

To check out the extensive variety of military baseball caps available today, Google “military baseball caps” or check out your local mall.  Consider looking online for wholesale suppliers of caps as well.  Buying them in wholesale lots is a great way to go!
