Male Evening Grosbeak at Lake Hemet, Riverside County, CA, 11 Nov 2015.
Observation details
Conservative count. I initially saw two small flocks (probably 15-20 birds total) flying and landing in the tops of the pines along the forest service road about 7:30 am, but these quickly disappeared. Over the next 90 minutes I saw a single female near a leaky faucet at Campground 5D, and three males well upslope to the north opposite Campground 5A. Then around 9:15 I had a few calling and coming to the roadside puddle opposite Campground 5C. The joined a group totaling ten birds and I was able to follow them for about 30 mins before they eventually flew into the campground.
