Observation details
Most Blue Grosbeaks I've ever seen in my life. DID NOT DOUBLE COUNT. I spent about 30 minutes alone just recounting the group of 5 behind the mulch piles. 4 males seen well and photographed. 2 females seen well and photographed. 3 others heard only so not sure on sex. 5 blue grosbeaks behind the mulch piles (3 males and 2 females) 3 other blue grosbeaks spread throughout other areas of chestnut point field all heard individually in their own separate areas. A 9th blue grosbeak was heard on my way out and I eventually found it and visually confirmed it as a male. There may be more than 9 in the area, but I only have evidence for 9 through audio and photos.
