Guess that bird...

We get this bird for a short time every spring and fall.  I wish we had a better pic for you, but this is all we could get -- through a window and the screen.   

Apparently, I need to wash my windows. 
Hint:  It's a female.   Note the eyebrow, the white stripe on the wing, the striped breast, the beak.

Answer below the fold.

 Answer:    Rose breasted grosbeak   Pheucticus  ludovicianus

They're on their way back north this time of year.   We love having them.  They have a beautiful song.
