Media notes
Helicopter hovering overhead. Several other birds also present (see list below).
Observation details
Female/immature at the edge of the marsh on Snail Trail, around 1:10 PM. I had my recorder out, so I recorded the call for a couple of minutes, then tried to take a pic. The bird flew off when I lifted my camera, heading straight in my direction and passing in front of my face. We spent a while trying to find it again (we could still hear it calling) but did not succeed. Unfortunately, a helicopter was hovering overhead for a long time and can be heard in the recording. The grosbeak's call is repeated throughout the recording but can be better heard in the initial part, which is followed by a pause before the call resumes.
