Observation details
Contouring bird first heard then observed flying out from trees midway down the trail on the north side of pond #2, landing in the base of the pond on mustard. Observed for 20-30 minutes. The second one came from the same tree and chased the other around before j no other stopping close to each other and feeding on grass. While observing the feeding a female black-headed grosbeak came down on the same mustard to feed along side them for a few minutes before retreating back to the same trees the blue grosbeaks were first heard in and retreated from. Deep blue coloration with rufous wing bars and large bills. Pictures, and audio to come.
