Media notes
Blue Grosbeak, Fort Ord National Monument Grasslands
Observation details
First seen by Robert Horn in his scope (he was looking at a tricolor blackbird female and the blue grosbeak flew in and flushed the tricolor). Virginia Chomat then saw it and called the ID. We all got great views. The male started singing and seemed to be defending territory. Definitely a male blue grosbeak. Bluish bird overall, chestnut wing bars and large silvery bill.
