Like them a lot too! IMO sure sign of spring. Funny the last few years they have hit the bird feeders hard.

Had a salt house behind my former coastal home. Saw them every spring, and a few even came to a feeder.

I think it's just a color variation. I saw more yellow-winged ones than ever this spring.

Spring? They're year round residents here with a big influx in winter.

Don't get too close to a nest, they'll fly above your head and chase you away. My sister in law even had one peck her head while out on a run.
