Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Gray-headed Junco
May 22nd, 2010 by Bartshe
Date of sighting: May 22
Both birds have been hanging out in the back yard of the El Mono all day today. The Rose-breasted Grosbeak is brightly colored male. The Gray-headed Junco showed up yesterday afternoon. The bird seems as if it might be an integrade between the Red-backed race and the Gray-headed race. The upper mandible is darker on top, but depending on the light is sometimes uniformly light-colored. The bird rarely remains still and we can’t get a certain look at it’s bill. My wife spotted both birds.
