Media notes
Originally thought this was a Black Headed Grosbeak and reported as such, however, Merlin corrected and said it was Rose Breasted Grosbeak.
Observation details
Please see photo. Bird was high up in a wild cherry tree. Distinctive white eye stripes, light breast, darker back, pinkish beak. Photo isn't the greatest. It flew from the cherry tree to the maple tree and disappeared. I originally reported this as a Black Headed Grosbeak (as they are common at this site), but Merlin flagged it and said it was Rose Breasted. Hopefully the reviewers can determine which one is correct. Reviewer said it had characteristics of both but not 100% of either. An independent experienced birder identified it as a Rose Breasted Grosbeak.
